L-corner flashing


One nasty little detail is where the roof comes down to the intersection of the two gutters which are at different levels. Flashing is required, of course, but the shape of it is near impossible to create from a single piece. Here the roofing contractor stacked small pieces to create the transition. The white bitumen on the right is just an underlayment at this point because the metal tiles will sit above the highest flashing lip. Maybe tomorrow we'll remove it because it's not really doing anything.

The next challenge is to continue the transition to both the metal tiles AND the torch-down bitumen, with proper lapping depending on where each piece sits.
