Rude awakening

Last week, it rained for two or three days straight here in the Sunshine State. Not that we mind, of course; rain is great for our plants. But on Wednesday night, as I closed the blinds, I noticed that the ugly cedar (that we are in the process of tearing down) that adorns the left side of our fireplace was soaked. (See photos below). After some poking around outside, we noticed that there was no flashing around the chimney, allowing all the water to funnel directly into our living room. A trip to both Home Depot and Lowe's later, we are ready for our first roof-related home improvement project. Stay tuned!
