Grandpadave52 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Really nice ice work...love the copper and the seam work! Did you solder or just crimp? Certainly added character to the house. Stick486 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Now that's how a professional does it! Being able to that type of copper work isn't being taught in too many schools any longer. Stick486 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAGON1 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 nice job!!!! next time you might want to shine the copper up evenly so it ages and patinas evenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick486 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 this is where this started.... you saw earlier how the flashing was done which proved to be a water let and you can only guess what happened to the interior... the fit and finish help w/ the water letting too... also note the soil up/over the siding and at the basement window sill...

DRAGON1 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 flashing would have helped that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 That was surely a haphazardly done job. Great improvement Stick . Didn't even have support under the bay window. You can be proud of this. Cal, Grandpadave52 and Stick486 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
