So… a couple weeks ago, the roofers finally game, fixed some serious problems with part of the roof, then left. The rain was kind enough to come several days later, and show me that their work in fact did NOT fix the roof, much to my chagrin. What they’d done managed to change the behaviour of the leak ever so slightly, but the *other* problem was that they also in the process eliminated the obvious *source* of the leak, which was the poorly installed “gutter” around the edge of the roof.

Of course, at this point, that presumes that they actually did the fix properly, which I sort of have reason to doubt at this point.

Thing is, there was one other place that seemed to be a reasonable source of the leak, which is the split between the stairs and the house body. So, I just hosed that down for some period of time. It illustrated how poorly made the stairs were with respect to water runoff and the like, but that wasn’t all that surprising to me. What *was* somewhat surprising was that this doesn’t appear to be the source of the problem.

I think, unfortunately, that finding the source of the leak has become my problem. I think soliciting anyone for advice would be the thing to do at this point, given that I’m a.) out of ideas, b.) out of my depth, and c.) incredibly frustrated that this has been going on for years, now, with no resolution.

Sheesh.
