Counter flashing....

That flashing looks great but if you really want it to look good for life use dark bronze color caulk. the copper will turn that color in a few months and it will blend perfect>>>

If you cut into the mortar joint or a straight line right up the roof, it only has to be about a thick saw blade wide. Maybe a 1/4 inch total width. When you bend the metal to insert into that cut line, you bend a 90 degree bend and then bend the back s>>>

Lead anchor drive pins,use them all the time, fast and easy secure finish!>>>

I use masonary nails to attach c.f. to the riglet. I like the round ones but sometimes the wedges work well too. you can also make your own wedges out of scrap pieces of aluminum. the inspectors around here like to see 8" minimum between the c.f. and>>>

Jedd, That is similar to how I have done it before, minus the rolled lead plugs. Where do you guys get rolled lead plugs?

Although my personal preference would be your way, I have done the straight version on a Red Roof Inn. Went through a lot of saw blades.

You might consider cutting the counter flashing into smaller lengths, 3'-4', to prevent buckling.>>>
