How will metal roof tie into existing building siding?

The metal on the upper half of the building above the porches stays. Metal roofing will get tied into it. I'm assuming they are using some type of flashing or drip channel that will tuck behind the existing metal siding. Guess I'll find out on Wed when they start the install.

Every project has their hicups but this one is getting frustrating. A couple of days ago I took a closer look at our door frames in anticipation of getting them installed now that the outside porches are covered. I noticed that the threshold is installed backwards and is on the inside of the building and slopes into the building with no outside threshold. After several phone calls and finally a visit from the supplier to look at the doors in person he is trying to insist that it is installed correctly. I am currently waiting for a resolution.

Here's the outside of the door frame These are outswing doors due to being a commercial setting. Notice no threshold.

Here's the inside of the door frame with the threshold sitting inside of the building and sloping to the interior.

not sure if I am seeing it right but yeah, the threshold should be to the outside.

Door frames are on their sides in the pics. The black threshhold in the bottom pic is on the interior side of the door frame and slopes into the building.

I made some headway yesterday on the issue. The supplier finally admitted that the factory does not typically make outswing doors. They simply made in inswing then instructed us to turn it around the opposite direction for an outswing but did not modify the threshold accordingly.

The supplier picked up the smaller door frame yesterday. They are going to cut the jams 3/4" shorter and modify for a low profile saddle threshhold. They think they can make it work without having to order new frames.

Thanks for clarifying the pics were confusing me. Looks like in swing to me

Ceilings are finally finished both inside and outside. It's really nice to be done with this part of the project which took close to 1,300 pieces of t&g. My body is beat and needs a rest. We plan to start cleaning up tomorrow and maybe start installing some of my track lighting. My wall sconces will be in Tuesday and will try to get those installed next week as well. My HVAC contractor showed up yesterday and put together most of the insulated duct for the main trunk lines.

Nothing quite as painful as having a deadline looming ahead of you and knowing that no matter what, it has to be done!!!!!

It didn't help that my wife agreed to hold a retirement party here next weekend for her boss. They are all aware it's still a work in progress so we just need heat, bathrooms, and open floor space. Only about 40 people so the backup plan is to move it to the house if needed.
