The gutters are going to be redone in the spring, I just put the stanard dripedge on and in some places the facia isn't even behind the drip edge. I am going to try and fix this issue kinda like you have, but I don't think I will be able to get the 3x3 angle in there onstead of the drip edge...

Well, no water the past couple of days and it has been prime water conditions this entire week. I thank everyone so much that helped me troublshoot and try to solve this issue. I've narrowed it down to condensation from my house being too humid. Ever since I turned mt humidifier way down not...

There is no ducting in the attic. On the one side of the house I added baffles between every joist, and I opened my ridge vent as much as i possibly could when I redid my roof. The back side of the house has vented soffit across the entire thing while the front only has three pieces of vented...

The sad thing is my thermostat is only set to 63, how low can i go before my pipes start to freeze?

inspectord - the insulation that you see is just leftover insulation from when I wrapped my bathroom vent pipe. It is not leaking under those two strips, but I will get up there and flip them over just in case. Besides those two pieces, none of the insulation in the attic has vaper barrier on...

No, my furnace is in the basement. What you are looking at is either the chimney that is in the middle of my house or the whole house fan which I insulate with 6" of styrofoam in the winter. I was having a hard time believing it is condensation because the water seemed to be on the other side...

Just to let everyone know the water seems to be starting to dry up today. It will do that, leak for about a day, then take a number of days off(varies) then it will start to leak for another day or two and go in this cycle all winter. It seems to leak worse the colder it is. To address a...

Here are the rest of the pics, I didn't travel too far down my roof due to the fact that it is 6 deg out right now and the shingles were feeling pretty brittle. I didn't want to start breaking them. The only Ice damning I found was where my bathroom fan exausts as you can see in the picture...

Sorry I didn't get any pics of the roof up yesterday, it was too dark by the time I was able to reply. Here are some pics like I promised though. Let me know if you need any more than this. The darkened board is where there was a gap between the chimney and roof. This has been fixed. Also...

Thank you all so much for your help with this I will get some pictures up early tomorrow of the attic, outside and inside. I just mopped up all of the water 2 seconds ago. For the flashing issue, there was an actual gap in the roof where the chimney was at and I took the flahing as high...

My celing has been leeking on the back edge of my house for the past two years now. I thought it was my crappy roof that was on there, so I replaced it and my chimney this past summer. I went overkill on all the flashing and rubberized undercoating thinking that the water was coming through my...
