Abstract:
An improved method of using flashing for weather proofing a building at the juncture of the edge of a sloped roof and a vertical wall, wherein the sloped deck of the roof is covered with shingles combined with a shingle-based flashing having a bent-up leaf member protruding above the roof surface for sealing the juncture, and the vertical framed wall is covered by a masonry wall and counter flashing is used to overlap the bent-up leaf member of the shingle-based flashing to complete the sealing of the juncture, the improvement comprising the steps of:(a) positioning a fabricated support on the roof deck at the juncture so that the support extends the length of the juncture and parallel to the slope of the roof and is flush with the bent-up leaf member and the vertical framed wall of the building; (b) covering the fabricated support with a flashing having a counter flashing member so that the flashing is resting on the support entirely above the surface of the sloped roof and the counter flashing member is extending downward adjacent to the support overlapping the bent-up leaf member; and (c) beginning construction of the masonry wall above the surface of the roof upon the fabricated support so that a section of the flashing is interposed between the fabricated support and the bottom of the masonry wall; whereby the need for separately attaching counter flashing to the masonry wall for overlapping the bent-up leaf member is eliminated.
