Last night, Hubby/Contractor worked on the outside wall of the bathroom (3 hours). As you can see in the picture, he's begun to take out the rotted pieces of the wall. It looks as thought the wall had been damaged by water. A few years ago I had a new roof put on the house, some of the damage probably came prior to the new roof. If you look at the upper right hand corner of the picture you should be able to see that there's a gab between the bottom of the gutter and the top piece of house siding. Another source of water damage. Even with all the rain we've had this summer, the wall is dry -- that means this is old water damage. We (well, the hubby part of we) are going to put in flashing (an aluminum piece that will go into the gap and force water away from the wall. Then we'll have to reframe the wall, put in insulation and finally sheetrock with green, water resistant sheetrock.
