My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

solar batch heater in attic- how to flash roof?

20 years ago

I want to put a batch heater in the attic, basically a water heater tank painted black under a window. I'm not sure how I should flash the hole in the roof so that it doesn't leak. Any ideas?
