I got the leak fixed and replaced all the rotted boards on outside frame of home. Not really too much damage. It was surface rot on the trim board mostly. However while workers were doing job, they noticed dry rot taking place on bottom portion of the 4x4 vertical corner post (circled in the...

I was seeing water dripping off my porch ceiling from a old nail hole. I then realize it happens every time the toilet above is flushed. So I think it may just be a bad wax seal. I take off toilet to inspect and find the wax seal is fine. But then I stick a flashlight down the drain pipe and I...

08-21-21: I finally got around to taking a closer look. I posted yet another video to show the inside of exterior wall. any new thoughts on what to replace in part or as a whole piece? Any ideas on cost if I had someone else do the work? Here is video link...

yes, I will be pulling off front board first and see how far the water leak got. But at this time I suspect it's just a surface leak that only now has rotted out front surface board so far. I will be inspecting this closer next few weeks. But it sounds like I can take this off and the ceiling...

I'm thinking perhaps the 4 x 4 vertical is to keep that edge of home from sagging over time. So it's not there to handle full weight of house, just to help out just a bit more than NOT having it there, and also act as a visual touch to outside porch at the same time. And yes, there is a room...

Yes the leak is coming from a bad end cap on gutter. It is spilling down the exterior wall and focused onto that corner piece of the board. And yes, there is flashing on top. So it seems you have hit the same thoughts I had. It's just a choice of architectual element acting as a trim stop...
