A couple jobs from the past.

These are a couple interesting and involved jobs from my time working as an employee of AEL Sheetmetal. Lots of copper flashing details through out.

Glass room repairs

Replaced old rotten wood battens with new copper ones . The copper covers new high temp bituthene.

Custom gutter screens

Copper screens for copper gutters .

A Few Interior Details

Here are a few interior details . A copper back splash  behind a bathroom sink, a galvanized steel cabinet built into the bathroom wall to increase storage space, copper crown molding in a bathroom and a bronze port hole window trimmed out in copper.

The shop

Living roof home with copper awning

This is a home Peter Smith Construction built last year in Bolinas. The living roof is surrounded by parapet wall with a copper cap. The skylights were sheathed in interlocking copper panels that allow for expansion and contraction. There was a standing seem copper awning built off one side of the house. The marine air quickly gave the copper a nice red tone. 

Pipe hand railing

This is a relatively simple pipe hand railing design using 1.5 inch  coper pipe. The end caps and vertical portion of pipe were soldered together then soldered to the sheet metal cap. They were then lag screwed and caulked down with fender washers inside the pipe to add more strength to the hold downs. The rest of the railing was then built in place.  The spaces in the railing are there to allow for  expansion of the copper.  I feared that if done in one continuous piece the railing would pull itself free of the sheet metal cap and wall.
