Significant structural issues. Beam going back into house is mostly sound, but compromised by earlier bathroom reno and will have to be reinforced. Note absence of flashing around window frame in lower left. Fortunately, the vertical piece is pressure treated. Downspout drains a huge amount of roof and the water damage is probably due to that bit of totally avoidable bad design.

Might see if there is some way to prevent ice dams in that spot going forward. That's likely a cause of the damage as well.

And the latest bulletin from downstairs is that the beam going into the kitchen is not even sitting on the post visible from outside (and now inside
) and is attached to it by one (1) horizontal nail. Hey, it's held up for years!

Indeed. I also suspect the idiot POs cleaned their gutters never. The structural engineer the window/siding guys brought in regaled me with stories about earthquake damage he's seen here.

Significant structural issues. Beam going back into house is mostly sound, but compromised by earlier bathroom reno and will have to be reinforced. Note absence of flashing around window frame in lower left. Fortunately, the vertical piece is pressure treated. Downspout drains a huge amount of roof and the water damage is probably due to that bit of totally avoidable bad design.
We'll have to do some roof work this year - I'm afraid about what we might see when we peel back the layers.

We had to rip up part of our roof a few years ago because water was getting under the shingles and rotted the decking. Couldn't see if from the outside. A plumber servicing the water heaters saw the rotted wood while in the attic. Luckily found it before water came through the roof deck.
You never know what might be lurking under things.

I noticed that you have conveniently left out, not pulling down your pants in anger, from this statement of denial. Just pointing it out for the record.

Same. We're dealing with wind and temps at the moment. The one warm day over the next 7 is supposed to be a rain day. Lots of indoor. I'm just happy that trainers and tech have come so far over the last decade.

Fugly is not so ugly. Or, maybe it's more so.
