Wacky Weds: A very bad money saving technique

half-a-million-house-30-dollar-issue
Can’t see it, well lets move in a little closer
moving-closer

no-flashing-or-kickout
That’s right, besides the missing Tyvek which one would hope they are still planning on installing, there is no step flashing, counter flashing or even a kickout. I can only imagine how quickly those walls will deteriorate & what else will be damaged. For a look at how to do it right; Getting the details right: 4 biggest Roof Flashing Errors to Avoid

      Thanks Ted & as an FYI / sorry – I have been so busy lately I haven’t been able to wrap up the Set-Back Thermostat piece – I may end up breaking it into smaller FAQ chunks
