The Alm Fab Timber Frame Awning plans are now available at almfab.com/plans
This week I finally finished off my multi-month quest to fix the leak in my garage. In the last video I started a timber frame awning, and in this video I put on the finishing touches. Everything from sheathing to gutters, roofing to soffit panels. I even managed to remove the old door, flash the entry (which was the reason for the leak in the first place), and install a brand new door.

Mr.Alm if I may offer (I know unsolicited) a piece of advice. Please cut your siding 1 inch above your roofline and tuck your flashing behind your siding. Get a roll of 6in aluminum flashing cut for a continuous length and bend to a 90° to slip between your siding and underneath your shingles. Use Henry's construction and flashing adhesive from home Depot. I typically use the adhesive between the shingles and the flashing and any surface nails thru the shingles. I cut the flashing so the horizontal leg that goes between your shingles and the plywood roof is a 90° cut with a 2in tab that folds over the peak and the vertical leg goes straight up from the peak which is a 45° cut (if that makes any sense). As an after thought you could get ahold of a local roofing supply company and have them bend you up the flashing you need. They would also be able to demonstrate in person what you would need to do and how to overlap your flashing. All the best and hope I didn't come off as preachy!

Water will be a problem again if the flashing isn't closed against the wall. It'll probably rot the wood underneath your shingles and drip behind the molding of your door. Water doesn't need much. I once installed a roof and had an inexplicable leak. Everything was installed correct. Water was dripping pretty hard inside. After searching different possibilities I found out it came in thru little cracks in the stucco, not wider then a hair. Nearly invisible. The water traveled thru the cracks, allover the wall, behind the insulation and entered the inside of the little extension of the house. In your case the large gaps between your outside panels in combination with the unsealed flashing. And why create a bend on top of the drain if you're going straight down anyway? I hope you tackle the problems before they occur. Would be a waste of the time already spent to make it beautiful.

Hey Michael, Just a helpful tip here. You need a "kickout" step flash at the bottom of the overhang on each side. As you have it now, the water will reach the end of the roof and then straight down the wall.

@Thomllama Жыл бұрын

looks awesome but 2 things.. the flashing and venting. 1. you absolutely need to seal off the top of that flashing! all you have done is move the problem spot up by nothing that! 2 good options are to cut a straight line in the siding and sliding a "L" channel in and caulking it. or, cutting out the piece completely slide an Z channel in and install a freeze board, (basically just a 1x board, best these days if use the PVC stuff) 2. venting! even that little roof should be vented, at least some! not perfect but you can drill the little discs that just pop in the hole in the boards underneath, at the bottom and the ridge.. should vent out the top of the roof, but uninsulated you can actually just vent under the ridge as there is no actual gable closing it off.. so it will break at least a bit. otherwise that roof won't last long as the plywood will rot much faster fro the extreme hot/cold from day to night temp swings. need to vent to get condensation out easy from over night cooling.

Very well done, Michael. I really liked the "post and beam" foundation you fabricated for the support structure. I know you get some high winds out there occasionally along with the almost never ending rainfall, so a great roof with great flashing is a must have for you. Here in north Florida we have hurricanes, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms with hail occasionally, along with very hot sunshine about 80 per cent of the time, so we have other issues. Our house was built in 1845, so it has survived a lot of storms and the entire town burning twice within about a year back in 1910 and 1911. Our house is the only original house that survived both fires. It needs a lot work, due to many years of weather and neglect. Glad you are worry free on your previously rotting wall, well done.

I can’t thank you enough for this and your previous video. I live in Houston. Not exactly ‘cold and wet’ but I challenge you to find anyplace more just wet. The rains are impressively heavy and I can think of at least 5 times when we have gotten more than 30 inches of rain in a day. Sometimes ten inches in an hour. We’ve been hear nearly 50 years and have an inoperable door that goes from the garage outside. I’m positive this is against the fire code. My husband takes the opposite approach to building and repairs than I do. With 6 children, he assumes they will break things so he buys cheap and fixes fast. In my case, I build to last and don’t have to fix. Both approaches have their uses but not for doors. He always installed a metal door, and it always rusted shut. The frame is rotted too. I saw awnings when I worked at the Home Depot in millworks for a while. You have made this task approachable. I loved that you included your errors like the falling ladder. Thankfully we have a friend with scaffolding. I shall borrow it.

Hello! I'm a video professional, and I had a suggestion in regards to the filming issue you mentioned at the beginning of the video. You may want to look at a Cardellini clamp with a 3/8 16 thread on the top. You can then add your preferred camera tripod head to that. It allows you to clamp just about anywhere. Just don't forget to use a safety cable with it! Safety first.

Looks like you didn't flash _above_ the door. Should be a piece of z-flashing there. Awning will most likely prevent that being a problem in all but sideways rain (we get that here occasionally, dunno about Seattle), so long as you do something to seal the step-flashing.

@jameshodgins1937 Жыл бұрын

I know this has been said before, but your step flashing should have gone behind the siding. You should cut the siding about an inch above the roof line and slide the flashing over the shingles and under the siding. You are going to have water issues with it the way it is. Other than that, you did a fine job.
