Even back when we were looking at the house, we noticed that there was water damage in the corner of the family room. The roof right above it has a very low slope, and coupled with a bad previous roofing job, had caused the damage. Water stains were around the ceiling and come of the paint looked like it was bubbling/peeling off the wall. Not good. So a few days ago I actually got up in the corner to get a closer look.

There is definitely a major problem and we will have to wash it down with bleach before replacing the drywall and patching the rest of the wall. He worked on it a few hours tonight, but we need to check another corner too. Of course, we will have to have that roof worked on as well ASAP. We just got an estimate today and it will cost around $1300 to put new rubber, fix the problem corner, and replace the fascia on the outside. Ugh, more money!! But this is really important.
