A system for providing a water proof seal at the interface of a building accessory unit such as a window unit mounted within an opening formed within an exterior wall system. The opening is defined by first and second side jambs, a sill and a head. The exterior wall system has an exterior wall structure and an interior wall structure, and the interior wall structure has an inside wall and an outside wall. In one embodiment, the system comprises first and second unitary flashing members, one connected to each of the jambs. Each of the first and second unitary flashing members comprises a first panel having a width x, a second panel having a width y, and a third panel having a width z. The three panels are connected together along a common edge. The second panel is substantially perpendicular to the first panel, and the third panel is off-set from the first panel and the second panel. The width z, of the third panel measured from the common edge is greater than the width x of the first panel and the width y of the second panel. The first panel of each of the first and second unitary flashing members is engaged with the exterior wall at the first and second side jambs, respectively. The second panels of the first and second unitary flashing members are connected to the interior wall at the first and second side jambs, respectively, and the third panels of the first and second unitary flashing members extend outwardly of the first and second jambs, respectively. In operation, installation of the window unit between the third panels of the first and second unitary flashing members forms a water proof barrier between the window unit and the first and second side jambs.
