More exciting news! Let the copperwork resume!
We have a new copper guy, Eric, who is starting to flash the porch roofs so Dave can proceed with the siding. Eric learned his craft at the hands of "old-school Italians" and is doing the flashing the old fashioned way - no solder, no caulk, no pop rivets. Unfortunately, the old-fashioned way has turned out to be about two thousand dollars more expensive than John's bid. I guess you get what you pay for.
These pictures were taken from the top down (hanging out the window). Here Eric has cut back the metal pans at the top. He has folded down the standing seams (note that they are folded with the seam part DOWN, not up, like John did) and has bent the top of the pan up.
