Meets the old -- and we're doing a step flashing tomorrow from the pergola. Good. Well she's got the fascia board all around the perimeter. We sure do Bob it's a piece of one by twelve spruce top. And as you can see here -- garden with a strip. This here which is an old Gloria it sure. -- it called the -- away from the spacious so that when the water drips off of here runs out as close look. Particularly giving on the debate exactly now let me ask you about the roofing I mean this is the -- you've got out. I have never seen so many roofing nails applied to the felt paper. Yeah this is the the -- caps have to be it eight inches apart. And the center of the of the paper and about five inches apart on the lap and using annular roofing nails were used -- now reaching a roofing him you see there so this law hurricane code. Incident. I suppose that we could pick it up but boy business overkill well they probably haven't hurricane drill just fine degree Bob you've. Things like -- two by -- flying through the air would minute. Amendment would rip the paper and then it would start the process appealing yeah and of course that they can't help you or prevent that so this group is almost ready for -- Sure is always got to do now that the shingles on."

And then it's attached to the screws through the styrofoam of the the form work it's screwed into these senator. When does it -- support of the -- insist that I -- and they're embedded in the concrete and then down here you've got the roofers. -- flashing. That's right Bob -- The step flashing those in between. Each layer of the shingles. As you can see -- nails and on them. Or not on the roof surface -- not on the vertical -- rights and what that does that allows the a water shedding it back right. Which is a very basic that method of waterproof cure and then once this is a complete used to have to plan at a piece of metal above that flashing. To end the Stucco one that's correct we use what's called a Stucco stopped and it goes right on top of the step flashing and then makes the real nice termination point when Stucco. "
