Pictures included The first hole I would patch by cutting plywood longer that the hole, screw it into the the 2x and then silicone gaps or use the canned foam. The second hole could be fixed the same way or just using the canned foam. That is unless you want to try to find flashing that could be trimmed to fit. __________________ My constant project is my home which was built in 1947.
