We've Got Water 'Round the Chimney Again

The General Contractor, Peter LaRoque of LaRoque Construction of Mocksville, NC, was here to see about connecting the supply lines to the pedestal tub in the upstairs landing bathroom. When he decided to tighten up the toilet tank while he was here, he got the surprising result of a broken bowl. That paled in comparison to my pointing out to him that the flashing around the chimney was still leaking--we've had a heckuva lot of rain this week. Turns out that the counterflashing was installed (that was the reason it had leaked when we had that weird March snowfall) but it had not been sealed. We'll be hoping that the sheetrock isn't compromised, of course, but he quickly said he'll replace it if so.
