My FIRST TIME Roofing. NEVER AGAIN! (EP.8)

What happens here

Facing scheduling issues (materials arriving early, fascia not delivered), the team adapts. The first application involves installing drip edge along the eaves. The drip edge is crucial to direct water away from the fascia and prevent it from seeping underneath the shingles and damaging the roof deck. The presenter mentions spending about $200 on drip edge for the entire roof. Since the fascia was not delivered, a temporary piece of fascia board is used as a spacer while the aluminum drip edge is secured to the roof deck using a nail gun. The drip edge is installed along the perimeter of the roof, focusing on the front slope first.

Goal: Install drip edge to protect the roof edges

flashings but we are where we are and we have to adopt with the situation all right so the first application we have to install our drip edge this is going to cause the water to run off our roof and not get seeped in underneath the shingles and damage the roof even more I spend between 180 and 200 on this drip edge we'll start with the eaves the front slope right there get that perimeter checked out so we already have our second scheduling issue the fascia is supposed to come on before the drip edge goes on because it's not delivered yet what we're going to do is we're going to take a temporary piece of facial hold it again so it's spaced out appropriately and then secure our drip edge to our roof deck then for after that when the siding is ready we'll start just sliding underneath it'll be a perfect fit [Music] make these Cuts in the flashing where it bends over let's see if I can make that happen there let's go over hey look at that I'm one of the cool kids now shoot I already Bend this thing crap it's not as easy as I thought this would be
