Always these complainers... The perspective is distorted by the phone lens, it looks less bulky in reality.

We didn't want a flat roof there, our neighbors have one and we don't like it at all.

Hi,

: I really like your lamps

Could you make a close-up picture and maybe tell me which lamps they are?

Best regards

Hi,

On the one hand, it looks slightly crooked under the windowsill, and I would have probably preferred it plastered. On the other hand, it seems somewhat strange to me that there are no ridge stones at the projection’s "ridge" either. To me, that looks like the result of a neglected detailed drawing for this connection.

not bad, good eye... There is indeed a spot that still needs to be reworked. It’s not crooked, but a wave in the plaster. That then looks crooked.

I don’t know of ridge stones for such a connection on plaster, how are they supposed to be watertight? You can’t avoid the wall flashing there. I would have also found it nicer if it had been a bit lower, but according to my expert, it is in accordance with the state of the art. If it were made smaller, they would no longer guarantee the watertightness.

Best regards,

Andreas

I rather think that another sheet metal should be placed over the upper half of the sheet metal including the screws. That’s how it was done with us...

And how is the upper sheet metal then attached? Glued?

Always these complainers...

Right - I'm not a roofer and couldn't show you exactly how to do it more elegantly.

We didn't want a flat roof there, our neighbors have that and we don't like it at all.

I wouldn't want a flat roof there either: I also prefer projections in the style of the house rather than them looking like they are protruding by accident.

not bad, good eye...

Unfortunately not with adequate craftsmanship skills, so all I can do is complain.

that's not crooked, but a wave in the plaster. That then looks crooked.

Exactly that would be less noticeable if the small gap between the roof and the windowsill were not further divided by the sheet metal lying on the plaster.

And how is the top sheet attached then? Glued?

Screwed through the bottom sheet. The wind manages to drive the rain up to the edge during strong storms. Depending on how your wall was constructed, the rain could get between the sheet and the plaster and then run down inside the wall... However, it is quite possible that, according to building technology, it is sufficient if the sheet is very, very high as it is here....
