Correct Lintel Image Needed

[Mike Lamb]

Does anyone have a good shot of a steel lintel with weeps and flashing that looks like it was done right that I could use? I rarely take pictures of things that look like they have been done correctly.

You cut the plastic back when you're done.

Here's one. Galvanized steel lintel, stainless steel flashing, weeps with plastic inserts.

These are good. I appreciate it.

Kurt, do you have that in a higher resolution? I'm sending these to a client who needs lintel replacement and is fuzzy on the concept.

I'm sending this to my client. Thanks, Jim.

Kurt,

What happened to the bond?

Kurt,

It isn't there. Bodacious inertia holds stuff in place.

I do have it in higher rez.

Kurt,

It's hard for me to get used to this detail now too. Even when I laid brick on US Government and County schools, etc. we always stopped the flashings about a 1/2" short of the front of the bed joint. The only ones that knew the flashing was there was the one that designed it and the one who installed it. I asked the county about this detail and they simply said "This was the only way to confirm the flashing was really there." - kinda sad, but I understand. It sure is ugly though...

I think Mike was wondering about the butt ugly expansion joint.
