Dave also tore off the last bit of OSB
on the back of the house - the little wedge above the breakfast area windows on the back porch. You can see a lot of water damage here, both in the left corner and at the pointy end to the right. The header of the windows has a number of water stains all across it. We believe all of this is from the improper porch flashings allowing water down the wall and under the copper roof deck. We did actually have water leaking inside the house twice about two feet in from these windows - one of the only actual "leaks" we had - so I'm not surprised that this is all messed up here. The leak inside the house stopped when we caulked the heck out of the porch flashings, so I'm not sure if this is all old damage from the pre-caulk days or if it continued to leak into the walls but just not into the house.
We're going to bleach and boracare this over the weekend, then Dave can resheathe next week.
