You got that right. I once wasted a week of my life trying to figure out a chimney leak. Every time it rained, water would run down the face of my fire place. Turns out, the leak was nowhere near the fireplace. It was getting in at the attic vent, nearly 10 feet up the roof and 15 feet to the right if the fireplace, and running underneath the shingles.

Replaced the attic vent and sealed it up good. No more water in the fireplace.............

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

I too had a similar leak on my covered porch's roof. Seems my youngest liked going out his bedroom window onto the roof at night to smoke. Unbeknownst to me! Must of stepped or tripped over the vent one to many times in the dark. Luckily he never fell off the roof or did more damage. Because I'm sure adult beverages were also somehow involved!

Oh, Man! A coworkers son got mad at him and punched holes in his bedroom walls. Twice.

He tore all the old drywall out, put up 1/2" plywood, sheet rocked over it, then dared the kid to do it again.

Now, the kids in the Marines.

They will find something to do with that anger!

My oldest punched some holes in the wall on day. Seems I was mistreating the fifteen year old when stopping him from going to his GF's house. Her parents were not home yet.

He called the police (911) thought I'd change my mind. I didn't have to do anything the sheriff pretty much told him, he had better not come back!

That son went in the Navy and grew up and now is handling his two sons.
