Doh!
Looks like there was no vent pipe installed in this flashing. I always look down in these guys, sometimes I can see insulation. This time I saw something I could not explain from the roof. Inside the very small attic (no pics) the bathroom exhaust fan was attached to this flashing. Talk about a double whammy! I think I may have laughed a little too loud, because they heard me through the access hole.

Another day, another chuckle !!

Here's one where the laundry room was moved to a new location and the old vent pipe was removed, but someone forgot to do anything with the old roof jack. It had been like that all winter, I was amazed not to find water stains on the ceiling below.
