I was in Home Depot this morning and checked the alum flashing -- they have 50 ft rolls 14 inches wide for $43 -- 58 cents a sqft. Not so bad.
The Corplast is about the same price per sqft here, but you get twice as much HX area from a sqft.

I think I will give the David M. HX (or a variation on it) a try for the dryer and see how it goes.

For the edge spacers, I'm thinking about taking a plastic lumber deck board and ripping it into half inch (or a bit less) strips to make waterproof edge spacers. Does this seem like a good idea? Any other ideas for the edge spacers? It would be nice if the spacers did not require a table saw to make.
