Another shot of the arched seam
Note how curvy the seam is where the old pan meets the new one. To me, it looked like the new pan was simply cut a little too wide and instead of rebending it, the copper guy just crammed it in to make it fit. I actually asked him about this when he first installed the pan and he told me it was fine and would settle in. On Monday, after everything was soldered in and John had left for the day, the sun hit it and really raised it up. None of my other copper pans had any kind of bubble, so I decided this was unacceptable and I wanted John to look at it.
Since Tuesday was a rain day, the first chance I had to mention this to John was Wednesday morning. He went ballistic. He refused to even look at it, saying "I don't need to look at it, I installed it and I know what it looks like." He told me there were cleats every 2 feet down the seam holding it to the roof deck (clearly not true, since the entire seam was arched off the deck several inches).
