BUT! The whole interior of the house was painted about 2 weeks ago. So if there were any cracks, I wouldn't be seeing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Is that the firewall on the side in the first photo that you can see daylight? I don't think that is uplift, it looks more like a flashing problem. What did it look like from the outside, or could you even get to it? Definitely need to comment on the missing and damaged truss members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepefrio Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yes that is the firewall. The gap is over an inch I could fit index and middle finger in it. And I could not get a good look from the outside, too high (ladder didn;t reach) and covered by a tree. I have a roofing buddy and we are setting it up to go back with his gear and take a better look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
