Window Trim and Scalloped Shingles Video

Bob meets Ryley at the Martha’s Vineyard Victorian to discuss the trim. They start by talking about how to trim a rounded edge of an arched to window. The lumberyard cut the top molding from a single piece of wood from a template. Ryley use sheet lead as flashing around the window because it is more pliable than other metal. The lead is all behind shingles to prevent contamination of the soil and water Ryley installs scalloped shingles on the gable. Ryley uses a 4.75-inch shingle to match the proportion pattern of other houses in the area.
