In this part of the prairies, the water supply is often poly, but everyone still bonds to the waterline. I've even seen a by-pass wire on the water meter just a few feet away from the poly supply line.

What is the ducting above that first mound?

Kurt, You had me wondering so I double checked with a manufacturer and he said they were neoprene. When I asked how long they lasted, he suggested that "about the time you would check a 30 yr shingle roof, you should go up and check, as sometimes the screws back out. The washers should be fine." This is a link to a company's PDF for ordering and installation with lots of details about how to flash, for what it is worth, though there are no specifics on the composition of the 'GASKETED FASTENERS'. http://www.fabral.com/installation/gran ... lutuff.pdf

In a previous incarnation I put steel on buildings. Simple large roofs were fun; as soon as things got 'complicated' the price of flashings doubled the material costs (or even tripled), and labour costs... well, lets just say that its a good thing these materials have a long life expectancy. On most roofs, check that, on properly installed roofs, the little neoprene washer is a limiting factor. When it ages/turns into dust, the metal has a little room to move and things start to vibrate and wear.

Lovely! What is the hole in the vented soffit for?
