I am assuming that Larry is either thinking that this is a
horizontal (non rake) application, or that he has never seen
turnback flashing installed. It goes under the shingles. The
turnback keeps the water from going past the edge of the flashing.

Makes a lump under the shingles if you do it that way. Step flashing
sheds the water on top of the shingles with every course, and is
invisible when properly installed.

Tell me you didn't really install turnback flashing on top of the
shingles. Please.

OK. I don't install turnback flashing on top of shingles. Now you tell
me the turn back doesn't make a lump under shingles.

Thank god. I was not willing to believe that someone would do
that. Doesn't really make a lump, more like a gentle rise.
Hardly noticeable from the ground. Most people cannot even see it.

What happens to the rain that goes under it? How did you fasten
it down so that it won't flap in high winds?

That's why you use step flashing, and interleave it with each course.

I am so glad to hear this. I was worried.

In 35 years ofroofing, I have not heard that one before. I
should have known it was coming, though.

After 35 years on construction sites, your hearing isn't what it once
was. You seem to be imagining things.

And I am glad that that is what it was. I am not the only one
that had that same thought, though. Per Ricos post.
