Installing Drip Edge

I'm really trying to wrap up the work on the front of the house. All that's left is replacing the drip edge that was removed when our predecessors built the dreaded tunnel of doom. I'd also torn off a good amount when I replaced the rotted facia boards.
Drip edge is a sheet metal flashing strip that slides under the roofing and over the top edge of the facia. It has a slight kick at the tip that kicks water off, away from the wood to keep water from ruining it.
Check out the full story on my blog. It has the full dose of humor and rain.

Diana Deiley on Feb 20, 2016No rain in Phoenix made me chuckle. I lived in Cottonwood for 10 years. Once in a blue moon it would rain and on occasion a nice downpour. Having a drip edge on the roof is very important. Wonderful tutorial. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
