I am going to be putting a new roof on my house and have an issue. I was just wondering what someone would do in this situation. The attached diagram is what is currently on my house and shows all of the components and they are to scale, with maybe the exception of the nail. This problem, in case it isn’t obvious, is that the drip edge has no place to nail or screw to. It would be in the gap between the fascia and the roof sheathing. So how do you fix this, with these limitations; the drip edge indicated in the diagram has to be used. I cannot get anything else. It's a steel shingle system and this is the starter that has to be used. And the fascia and soffit has to remain as is. The sheathing cannot be redone.

Hello, I have a skylight in my room and was thinking about temporarily replacing the glass with a plexiglass sheet in order to vent a portable AC unit out the window through a hole cut in the plexiglass, and running flexible duct up to the glass, which is about 8 ft off the ground, then terminating the duct at a 90 degree elbow in order to keep water out. The skylight dimensions are 40" x 40".The room is in the middle of an apartment. 3 walls are interior, while the exterior wall is shared with the building next door. No other window exists in the room. The skylight glass is a dome, and is easily removable by lifting up. Skylight glass is not hinged. Would there be any issue with this scenario? I would mount the plexiglass to the current window frame and use sealant to keep out water, then in the colder months remove the plexiglass and put the window back in place.
