Thank you so much for all of the very informative, and calm, videos. This really helps me understand how a home comes together as a college student studying architecture. I really like how your videos stress the importance of doing things right and being safe while doing so. Please continue to make more like this. -Neil

My house is over 20 years old and I have three bay windows and NOT ONCE have we ever had a leak. Not once!

[@optics6640]

my bay window leaked every time it rains hard. it has a 2 step flashing. had someone redo it and when they removed the existing flashing, there were missing bricks just above the bay window. so he covered that area with roof shingles and then placed the flashing over that. it didn't leak for 4 years and now its leaking again. do you think I just need to caulk around the flashing?

Mr Light I need a help I need to change roof and wood frame but I do not know What do you call that because it also needs to have thermal installation. Mid-Tares Bay pitch window need a roof wood is rotting away?

[@billpowell6021]

You should never use galvanized sheet metal with copper, you will get "galvanic corrosion". You should use the same materials either all copper or all galvanized. Another way to properly flash the bay, is to step flash each side with end dams until you can bridge over the top of the roofing of the bay, with and continuous flashing over it.

I wonder what percentage of bay windows are constructed properly.

[@MrAquinas1]

How about doing a video on a bay window as a replacement on an existing brick house?

[@abramcarpenter5154]

What do I do if the contractors did a poor job initially and now I have to go back a fix it?

[@mattmace7761]

You said you can do all of that after the brick is laid, no... You just proved you can not. Don't use galvanized on copper or mix them, ever.. Good video though.

Bay and bow windows are very dated. They where ok in the 80s.
