Looked pretty easy on YT, just looking for a second opinion. The pessimist in me is worried what might happen if the groove I cut the the brickwork to install it into is not straight enough. What else could go wrong?

    You can see in the photo the far half of the extension already has a lead flashing and the near half just has a gap. It looks like the builders put silicone in the gap but most of that is long gone. I haven’t noticed any odd behavior from squirrels, or ever seen one in the roof. This is in the U.K. btw - maybe we have different squirrels?

      Much of the UK has the same gray squirrels that North America has: people deliberately moved them. Not every squirrel decides to eat lead, but it’s definitely a thing.
