I made up my mind yesterday that today would be “flashing day”, no matter what. I hoped for only a little rain, but wasn’t holding my breath, given the weather report of rain for the next ten days. Imagine my happy surprise when I woke up to sun!
It did rain (of course) last night, so even waiting until 10:30 left me with some wet areas to work with. Still, most were dry. I used this adhesive which seemed to be perfect for working in such damp conditions, and only needs a minimal amount of time to start setting up…plus has great reviews. I gooped it on to the back of the well-cleaned old flashing, and also in the corners where the siding comes together, then nailed it up…easy-peasy. After it was all up, the dry weather continued for 3 1/2 more hours. According to reviews I’d read, other users had luck with as little as 2 hours of drying time.
The nails don’t look great, but I plan on painting the flashing so they shouldn’t show up after that. I think that it looks pretty good, better in reality than it looks in these pictures, oddly enough! Yay!

Hello, the cabin is starting to look really good. Hope you get some more dry weather.
Thanks! I’m sorry I didn’t respond to your comment earlier…Wordpress decided to hide some comments in a separate place.
I appreciate the kind words. 🙂

Looks even better in the last blog post.
Looking good! The one thing I have found over time is that the things you think don’t look too good nobody else actually notices! I filled a hole in the wall last night, were the radiator pipe comes through the tiles in the bathroom (its taken me a year to get round to it) It turns out Gosia hadn’t even noticed the hole in the first place 🙂
Hi Eddy, your comment got missed too. 😦
So, what you’re saying is, stop pointing out all my faults? lol, I’m try to remember that good advice!
