Whoops - we didn't need flashing there, right?
This is the most blatant error yet. Note that big gap where the flashing stops to the left of the window. They must have installed the wood trim first, then they ran the copper flashing up to the trim and stopped. (The flashing should have continued behind the wood trim and under the window.)

All of the water that traveled along the incorrectly sloped counterflashing (remember picture 63? That's this roof.) was channeled right into this gap and down the wall. If the other porch roofs are also done this way, that explains the persistent leaks and why it took several tubes of caulk to fix them. This one has probably been leaking too - we just didn't notice it since it covers the outdoor shower, which we never use.
