Looking at adding a simple porch roof to an existing home. Two story brick (mostly), some lap siding on the back of the second floor. The area in question already has a concrete slab, and is enclosed on two sides by the house. The ridge would be attached to the house, no problems there. The question concerns the sidewall flashing to the brick, where the new roof slopes downward. The brick wall is solid…no windows, protrusions, etc. Would it work to saw cut a slot in the brick and silicone in a length of flashing? Length will be about 18 ft, slope about 3:12, three tab shingles.
Do it right, or do it twice.

Either JLC or FHB had an article in this past year about this with plenty photos.
Can do but individual steps of counter flashing set in the mortar joints is far better. Also use a polyU or butyl caulk. Silicone breaks free from metal in a few years.

I have a little experience with Sonneborn NP-1...is that what you have in mind? I seem to remember that it's a little runny.
Whay would you suggest steps as opposed to continuous?
Hey...saw an article in today's paper about an old guy in Maine who put arsenic in the coffee at a church picnic, killed the pastor, several others sick, then shot himself later.

It weren't me - Honest!
but it's been all the TV news this weekend, along with that CO dude that hacked his arm off.
About fifteen people went to the hospital last week after a church social post worship. Took a couple dayts to figure it was arsenic and administer antidote but oldest guy was dead by then. Once they announced on TV that they were sure it was an intentional thing and that they had a suspect in mind, this other church memeber shot himself. They've searched his potatoe farm and found evidence that it was he who did the deed.
Weird.
Don't know that caulk. I've been using Geocell last couple few years..
