Photo 263 of 410, Defective House

Here is a view of the rim joist where the porch is attached. This is below the french doors, which we believe have been leaking for a long time (that's one of the reasons we built the porch - because the french doors would leak onto the living room floor in certain heavy wind-driven rains and no one seemed to know why - guess we know now!). Again, to get this out of here, we'll have to tear up the porch floor - we're hoping we can just tear out a little bit and patch it instead of having to rip the whole thing up. That's iffy because the flooring runs perpendicular to the wall - we can't just rip up a few floor boards closest to the house.

Oh well - the porch is a problem for another week....
