A leak!




Sometimes you wake up after a long night of steady rain and find something you don't want to see.  This morning it was puddle by the big sliding door.  At first I thought it was just some rain that got in when I openned it, but on further review, there was a drip coming from just above the door itself.  I've caulked the exterior - more rain on tap tonight so we'll see if that is the culprit.  Long term, we're planning on a gutter and rain collection system which should help.
the exit point for the water
best guess is that the water crept down the fascia throught this crack (since sealed) and below the door's header to the path of least resistance 
Meanwhile, painting continues with the door and it's trim.  Hopefully tomorrow will allow for the chair rail to begin to be installed.
