I made use of the mid 50's and no rain today, and got my flashing installed. I went under an extra row or two of shingles, and covered about 3/4 of the flashing. I used Through the roof sealer on the bottom of the flashing, running the whole perimeter including the bottom edge (in a V shape on the bottom edge, and left about a 1" gap open to drain any water. Hopefully this will also minimize wind blowing rain up under that edge?)
I also used it on the screw heads, to reseal the shingles to each other, and to seal the shingles to the flashing. I cut a 1" gap between the flashing and the edge of the shingles so nothing gets dammed/caught and stuck.
Should I have used more screws on the edge of the flashing? I figured the less holes i poke the better. I only have the bottom row, and 1 up each side. I don't see how it could go anywhere or leak since its sealed well, but wanted to double check.
The storm collar isn't on in this picture, but it's installed with silicone sealer. I also have two more 36" chimney sections to add, but i'm waiting on my chimney support kit to get here.
Thanks, Will
