Woman thought she just needed some new siding. Told her I thought it was a bit more involved than that. She says there was a small tree there that caused it. I sent her the pics of the grand opening yesterday. Oh you betcha i had the hidden damage bit in the paperwork!
You need more than just duct tape for a proper job. Put some aluminum foil and then the tape. You can get a better markup on the job too when you add in the materials.

Thanks for the ack Joe. You and Ed have marketing skills with the aluminum and Bondo stuff.

End of fascia board at gutter end was soft as well as soffit. No surprise but more than I would have thought. Removed gutter and fascia board. Rafter cap got trashed too.

Not because of the missing kickout though. The fascia board was installed too high, above the roof angle plane. The gutter installer took advantage of that to get gutter slope. End of shingles were actually turing up like a ski jump. I'm guessing it led to water running down (because they were turned up) the backside of the end shingles on to the top edge of the fascia board.
One minor correction to original post. Not $1. Step flash piece was 32 cents.
It's incredible what the plant life does to the structures. Tiny seeds get into every little crack and crevasse and basically pry everything apart as they sprout and grow.
In my experience, nature is a nasty old bitch, and will happily knock down and destroy what you spend years creating. Entropy always wins eventually- life is just one long delaying tactic.
Well, Yeah, I wasn't trying to imply otherwise. From mother nature's viewpoint, humans are just a nasty lingering infection. But the bottom line is, Nature WILL win in the end. Perhaps if humankind could figure out how to make it a symbiotic relationship?
