Yikes!!! I don't know if I understand you correctly, are you saying I have to completely cover the brick with flashing all the way down the side of my house? How far does it have to cover the brick? Like wrapped over the side or just an inch or so from under the j-channel? I don't think I...

Okay I met the quota and it's been over an hour since my last post, I hope this works... The house had the siding done two years ago. The contractor never mentioned any damage or reason for water to come into the house, not that it was his problem anyways. The question again is can I seal...

It sounds like the packing is either worn away or just loose. How old is the faucet? I would attempt to remove the knob then try to tighten the nut that captures the ball part of the handle, if that makes sense. If that don't help the stores like home depot usually have rebuild kits for most...

I'm also from Michigan. Just trying to get my post count to 10 so I can post pics of my problem. I have till Saturday to get my problem solved, that's when the rain comes and floods my project. :eek: hahaha

I don't know about the closet but I can't believe you don't have a supply vent in your bathroom. I'm sure code wouldn't allow a return in your bath, odors and what not. :) How is your bathroom situated? inside or outside walls? If I were you I would definitely check if you have a home...

Damn... I can't post pics unless a moderator reviews it first. That really sucks! This isn't myspace is it? ... Is this myspace? I wouldn't think anyone would bother posting pics not related to the subject, would you? Jeeze I believe this is really having an effect on getting an answer to my...

Strange that the post I made with the pics still hasn't shown yet. I posted them about an hour after my first post, so I dunno what's up with that???? I'm gunna try again, hopefully people can see 'em this time without a review... I can see 'em in the preview so I know I did it right...

I guess I should have mentioned that the siding was done the year before and the contractor never said anything about the water infiltration. So as it stands, the wall is pretty much finished on the outside and no drywall on the inside. I have added another post including a few pics but the...

Hi, this is my first post in this forum. I am experiencing a problem with the original design of my home. I live in a single story ranch on a slab. It is constructed of half brick and half vinyl siding. The problem I am experiencing is where the vinyl siding J-channel meets the brick...
