hemmed fascia receiver
Fascia receiver in the event there is no drip edge to tuck behind. I do a double hem on these so I can use a snap lock tool to hook in the fascia, just a little insurance. The slots allow some room for the inevitable.

I can't stand those. I use to be such a nut about my break I would put dollar bills underneath each of the arms. 5 total.
Fine tune it to where they each had the same amount of tension on them when trying to pull them out. I used dollar bills because they where always in my wallet and more consistent than trim coil.
I'll have to go look for that tutorial tom.

You guys say mine's equivalent to a "windy", but I'm not sure. One man can not carry mine with any grace at all. It's pretty darned heavy for two men. I'm not sure what sort of cast metal each "C" is made out of, but it's not aluminum. More like cast iron. It's a 12-footer, and I'm certain it's every bit of 200 lbs.

She was pretty sweet from what I can remember. Next time I'm at my dads, I'll see if I can dig it out of the garage. I'm sure the sticker is still on the brake.

I think I broke metal down for atleast 3 years on the pro14 before I even knew what the windy was. I noticed a roofer on a job using one. 
Since then I've used them all except a windy and the alumapole one. My main one is the pro19 with the self adjusters on it. I prefer a brand new pro14 still to this day with the adjustable cams. Nothing bends crisper and cleaner. I can feel the flex/slippage in the pro19's arms and adjustable cams.
Since the arms on the pro14 are obvisouly smaller I think it clamss a little tighter.

Have to admit, I'm impressed.
I intended to get a couple of pics today of a properly brutalized brake, but it's chained to a tree on a site we got rained out of today. I'll try to remember to snap a couple next week.

That's how we do 'em Loneframer.
Pieces like that work good on the cut bottom of a fascia that runs across a corner box also. Keeps it nice and straight.

That's where I first saw it. Sure does keep 'em straight and protects them from tearoff.

I'm lost on the last two posts.......12-16 coils? That's 2400 square feet of coil. Are you wrapping the entire house in aluminum from block to roof?
