" This is where -- clapboard comes together -- shingles and with arched top windows out of my window first -- how do you go about trimming -- a round -- window like this. -- the first pieces that the flat casing that I got -- template I -- the template to -- local -- they've got to -- set -- and -- this piece here in two pieces so it makes sense not to try to do everything yourself especially if you're working with. -- is going to have a profile like that okay you ready to pick up a lot of time on. You're ready for this final piece here in the next if this is bring it down in the bottom here. Predrill these some minorities willingness to let this thing. What do you do when you get to the end there at the -- The -- that when we apologize together it was an adult book any -- OK the same purpose. -- growing. -- He -- his own life. Now for something like this the last going to make sure you don't get any water and I ended -- And that listen we're flashing -- That's correct now this is this like a window flashing that's on there -- that is exactly what that is that's a three quarter inch window flashing as around sink and that basically goes over that freeze board as we call it that's right which is a one by six that we'll give us the transition between the clapboard it's. And the shingles -- Now the rest of the window trim will actually. -- classical music she left it that's right we're going to transport and -- right at this point here. Because it is hunter the top and and the sink is not -- can't you can't check the outlet that it isn't easy to -- the main reason is that you can buy sheet lead in a roll and you can cut the pieces and needed fitted around. Heard it. Whatever the details like me. And all of us led this hidden behind a shingles and clapboards are tiny bit of it which is actually exposed to the weather provided prevents any. Wind driven rain from getting in behind the window trim and into the exact into the sidewalk. And you don't have to worry about lead contamination but here it's just. Let. All the way thank you. -- backing galvanized and right any exposed nails we use copper right that's correct yeah. OK now the entire side was -- Here -- in the gable end gonna be done. In scallop shingles -- which you precut but our starter course is just regular. Square cut right. You know -- how did you cut all these collagen. We dismayed at the template out of one island in a random up with a table saw that point three quarter inches and then that this -- with a jigsaw. Ryley why do you make them all what what fourth record violence requires. Well let's just say -- The -- uniformly to get them Ratajczak if you houses are here on the island that's what they -- that's a good dimension yes and it's important from the point of view the whole when you finish it having it look the right proportion with the rest of the house that's right. And nearly put one nail -- just to get them up now it is combats like credited as the comeback in in an alias so no one hero -- So the white. And so would that you see there's always call a ledger board which. Besides the bottom of the next course of shingles. And you're starting with a half the shingles there and that way we showed a break over all of my joints yeah. And basically all the shingles are the same size in terms of -- What about the the exposure to the weather Ryley how do you figure out running gable end what's what's your main consideration one -- that main consideration is that we have the top of the window with a focal us OK so it measured from here. To the top we know -- 42 and three quarters and so we've figured out mathematically that it nine courses at forward requires -- put -- right without you figured out the exposure to the weather sports reporters and right. Nor of any more than five I had not going to."
