I extened the covering over the exiting gravel edge. The edges of the new covering are visible when viewed horizontally. Shoul these edges be throughly sealed to the drip edge joint?

I would not use the "gravelled tar paper" route though. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
