Caught my shed roof flashing wrong, cost me 3 weekends
Put up a lean-to shed in my backyard in Austin and used that peel and stick flashing under the drip edge. It looked fine for two weeks, then a storm came and water tracked right behind the siding and rotted the bottom plate. I pulled it all apart and found the flashing was laid too flat, it needs to angle out past the wall plane. Lost about $120 in materials plus all that time, and now I'm redoing it with metal flashing instead. Anyone else had this happen or have a trick for getting the bend right without a brake?

Turned the metal up with a 2x4 and hammer, or did you bolt it?
