Re: Bottom Sill

I agree looks like you got some serious damage under there and rotting wood and most likely termites have settled in there. I dont have any knowledge on what it would take to repair it.

Re: New Gutter Installation Problem Need Help

We get some strong winds here. Is that going to make a difference in relation to stress? And pushing the flashing in and out from wind may cause some stress on the old metal? And is that going to rattle really bad? Thanks again for your help. Sorry so many questions.

Re: New Gutter Installation Problem Need Help

How would you suggest fastening on the flashing? Rivets ? Then sealing the flashing again with some caulk or something?
