Office Wall Repair

This repair was needed because the owner/builder who put the house together missed a detail. He framed in the porch and put the fascia in place without sealing in the area above this window. There was an area that should have been covered by siding but since there was not enough room to install that because of the fascia around the porch, he left it. So, every time it rained water would wash down the wall and onto the exposed house wrap above the window, then run down behind the siding and trim. I discovered this several months after installing a new hardwood floor inside this room, when the first rains came and as I was trimming the moisture barrier around the edges to prep for baseboard installation I noticed water in the gap between the hardwood and the wall. So there I was, early November with the rains starting, and I had to tear one corner off of the house.
