A rude awakening



 
good morning,a brand new water stain after the heavy rain last night

after and extensive search in the attic it lead to this area of this very large roof.
water will drip down the sides and find its way in

wind will definitely do its part

the gap is big enough to hold a carpenters pencil

this piece of flashing is pushed up.ice and snow will find a way in.
This is close to the valley,the area that suffers the most water damage.

noticeable gaps on all 4 corners

We sealed all these openings with a clear urethane based caulk.
and the metal flashing at the base was re-fastened accordingly.
all exposed nail heads were also coated.
