Finally got around to picking up some drip edge from the Home Despot to finish up the roof repair I started a while back.
I would have preferred to nail it in from the top rather than the face, but with the shingles already in place I didn't really have a lot of options. The important thing is that the water coming off the shingles is going to go into the eavestrough rather than behind it, and a nail hole or two isn't really going to be an issue in that regard.
At some point when the roof needs redoing, hopefully not any time soon, the drip-edge can be installed properly once the old shingles are ripped off. But that's a tomorrow-problem, not a today-problem.

Bizarre eavestroughs! You could put a dab of caulk over the nail holes. How did you ensure you still have a gap behind the drip edge?
There isn't a gap behind the drip edge, but it overlaps the eavestrough so it's not a big deal. I don't think there will be enough water infiltration through the nail holes to bother with caulking it.
