Adding a Drip edge and Tinning the NW Wall
We have come quite a ways. It's marvelous how two people can make such an impact in such a short amount of time. Tenacity is key- and patience

Now, lets contiune.
Firstly, we installed the 'Drip edge' on the header board just above the original tin sheets. The Drip edge panels are 1-2 inches away from the wall and hang over the tin sheets; helping to direct water away from the otherwise vulnerable spot.
[Drip edge is a term commonly used for 'flashing' or something to aid in waterproofing. Our 'Drip edge' dose fit the criterion of waterproofing, but it isn't the traditional object used as 'Drip edge'. Use this as you will.]
We ran the whole width of the 4th wall with the silver drip edge, and, like before bent the excess around the Northern corner.
This is what it looks like so far:
Then we covered the exposed horizontal board (just under the roofing tin) with some new black tin; the same tin as said roofing tin.
Like the first, we ran the black Drip edge the whole length of the house and bent it around the corner.
The black Drip edge will extend that boards life by quite a large margin, and it looks great.
We continued with the black tin on the NW wall, but this time running the ruts horizontally.
By plating the once exposed board on the NW wall with tin, we have waterproofed the rafter and accented the roof.
I think it looks great.
This added a cleaner appearance to the NW wall, and it makes it that much more waterproof.
