One last issue
The copper back porch roof faces south and throws off a LOT of heat in the summer -- so much so that if you put your hand into the wall cavity on the wall where the roof is (yes, we cut a hole there too!), it feels like you are sticking your hand into scalding hot water. The heat seems to be causing the windows and/or azek to expand and contract, which is cracking the caulk joint at the bottom of the windows closest to the porch roof. It shouldn't be a huge deal because there's window wrap and roof flashing back there to direct the water out, but it's annoying. Dave already recaulked once but it's happening again.
Someone recommended a different kind of caulk (Dymonic FC) that is much more flexible - I think I'll wait for this to get bad then chisel out the existing caulk and try the new stuff.
