Gentlemen,
I need a detail. I would show a photo but don’t know how to transfer it from my photo program to this post.
I need a section detail of an exterior wall with a solid stone veneer about 4 ft. high with a slate cap and cement board siding above it. (it could be any type of siding above) It’s a wood framed wall. I can see tyvex where the siding abuts the slate cap and many of the slate are either level or have negative slope towards the house. How is this supposed to be flashed to prevent water penetration into the wall structure at this joint? Or do we depend on caulk, the tyvex, and hope it drains out at the bottom. I know what the problems are but I need a detail to show how it should be built.
Thanks, Herb Scott
