[Greenbuilding] window flashing details.

[Keith Winston]

Hey, that's interesting. That's doing most of what the flexwrap does, 
and includes the removable 1/2" back dam. Very interesting. I think it's 
a bit cheaper, but I'm not sure: looks like it runs about $15 for the 
sill flashing. I know Flexwrap isn't too cheap, I'm not sure it's that 
much (you'd still want a straight-style tape window flashing for the 
sides and top). Thanks for the link.
