One thing I learned, if you use it with the blade up you see your line better and always cut from top down on left side and bottom up on right will keep the blade from binding, and it kicks the dust away from you. "Live Roof Play"... asphalt life 😉👊

I did my chimney June 2019 , I used mortar so I did not have to chip and cut 3 to 6 inch into the stone added a Cricket cut into the mortar 3/4 for the counter flashing , Did the same bend on the top the lip holds tight that wedge is the only way to go .

If there’s an existing one that is embedded in a stucco chimney and we put in new shingles, does that flashing normally get replaced?

I love to see that you put that extra little bend in there to lock it in that stone lot of people don't do that now when you put that metal in that stone you will not be able to pull it back out because that extra little been that you put which I call a counter bend will lock it in tight good job brother

little bit of info for those ever doing this. don't risk that grinder, I'm speaking from experience that thing can cut/burn though a nice pair of fingers before you realized you touched it. just don't do it. it's a silly shortcut.

Next time blow off all the dust hit it with a wire brush and blow off again you will never have another bond issue. Also look into getting slicks or caulking spatulas from albion will keep your fingers cleaner and will prevent any debonding issues.

I know this is a little late but osi and geocell self level. Keep ya fingers out of it. Also I always use clear. You did I nice job on the counter flashing, no since in making it look bad with caulk that is colored.

Is that aluminum or metal? What gauge? How thick of a blade do you need to make that work how you got the lines at every side and every corner matching up at the same height from roof deck?

I think the gripping fold causes a hassle because once the unit is pushed in the groove of the stone for adjustments it can't be pulled out easily. I have seen a video where installers left that edge straight, made all the measurement and adjustments they need, where after placing the unit in place wedged it with a folded up line of strip of sheet metal at 5 or so places and that was that.

Tell me about it!! A good caulk gun is vital as well

Was that coil stock? 🤔 I like the 2" rigglet into the stone and I've always preferred using a one piece system over the two piece wall and counter. Saves valuable time in the heat plus no chance of wash over on backside. I prefer to use a 26g metal due to our roofers around here suck and will destroy anything thinner. Just curious to cost of labor and materials you getting for a job like that on a standard 6/12 pitch?

A speed square and a nice pair of snips will save you from having to get off the roof, hoof it to the break, measure and slice, and get back up. You could get your measurement of 1 3/4, speed square a flat line across the piece and be installing it before you would have hit the bottom of the ladder! You seem really good at scoring with the knife too, and that is even faster than snips - if you trust your hands :P Edit: wrote that out before I knew you were hemming the piece. In this case. you would have had to come down anyways.

When you run empty on bottle of caulk, do not throw away the nozzle, put it on the new bottle, so you save a nozzle amount of caulk with every new bottle. Though it works only for a single session.

Inside of that crappy siding brake you should get a wuko bender. Only bad part that you need a table lol 😆and instead of face nails on the apron. You should make 1" wide strips 6" long. Nail the strip under the apron.White side facing up. Leave about 1" past the apron and fold the tab onto the apron. Probably one strip on each side of the apron. Leaving no face nails on the apron. Just a suggestion not trying to tell you what to do.

i saw a guy do it right after i did this but instead of the face nails he put on that little half inch bend that goes down to the roof

Keep a thin paint brush to brush out the joint first ,then caulk the joint before you install the metal. Install the metal. Then buy a 3/8" caulk knife at a commercial caulk store and you wont get it on your finger nor rake the crap out of your finger.

You always have to have mechanical flashing if you want it done right but you guys killed it on this one. That took some balls to put the skilsaw blade on the grinder. I’ve never even thought of that but that’s some on the fly thinking. Much respect !!

Put a huge bead of geocell around the base of that rocky chimney. Flash out laterally 8-12” like you would a valley. Matching those infinite crevices is a lost labor.
