Well it turns out that this is not so good the pin whole leaks in the roof over that 2*6 that leak infected wood all over the place.
I took down the cupboards to find it got to the 2* 4 along the rear of the cabinets, and has worked its way into the siding. It is all coming off, may as well take the entire wall down on that side. And take the kitchen out as I'm at it.
Its amazing how much damage such a small hole can make. It must have been leaking for years.
Right now my plans are to rebuild the roof with 1/2 as well as the wall's then to cover it all with a new panneling. The reason is to add extra strength, and a material that handles mositure better if there even is another leak.
I have ripped out a good portion of the foam insulation, some of the peaces are water logged. I mean soon as I went to pry it down, water just poured out of it. *sigh*
You can see in this image that the exhaust fav vent has also been leaking. And in the upper right you can see the frame is balck rotted out. The lucky part this is only the roof frame after I cut the black rot out, the exterior wall frame is dry and solid? Go figure.
