Brake it 'til you make it!

What happens here

Take the fully formed and trimmed metal flashing piece to the window opening. Carefully position it, typically under the house wrap and over the window frame, ensuring that any drip edges or channels are oriented to divert water away from the window. Use a hammer to gently tap the flashing into place and secure it with appropriate fasteners, such as short nails or staples, ensuring a snug fit against the window frame and wall sheathing.

Goal: Carefully position and secure the custom-fabricated metal flashing piece over the window opening, ensuring it is properly aligned for water shedding.
