Photo 125 of 410, Defective House

This is a closeup of the window header from the previous picture. That area should be totally protected from rainwater by the eaves. So how are these stains getting here? We also took a moisture meter to the white wooden trim where the gutter is hanging (see previous picture). The 6" or so to each side of almost every gutter hanger were registering an extremely high moisture content. Why? The hangers seem to tuck up under the cedar shakes of the roof. This particularly part of the roof (family room) is being replaced, but we weren't planning to do the main roof. Maybe we'll have to?
