More Chimney Leaking

The silence from the general contractor for the renovation and addition project of 2008-2009 continues. So far, Peter R. "Pete" LaRoque of Mocksville, NC, has made no response to my recent inquiries, and the issues he has failed to address persist.

As I've said before: Claims to "stand behind" one's work mean you have to be willing to come stand in front of it.

In mid-January, there was nearly a week of rainy days, which also included some gusty and blustery winds. On the evening of January 17, I came into the kitchen and was greeted by a return of the leaking chimney. The last repair Pete attempted on the chimney flashing was back in March 2010, and this is the first time I'd seen any problems with it since then. Perhaps it's simply a break-down in whatever sealant was used?

I'll put it on the long list for the items that Mr. LaRoque still must address.

How do you like the new artwork hanging there, by the way?
