So I fixed all the gutters “properly”, only this little piece of crap evidently had a pinhole leak. I guess this means I wanted to go back to the box store sigh.
Permalink What the hell This morning I went to my office in the garage, and found the first ~4 feet by the door flooded. Luckily my office has poly, 2" of XPS and two layers of plywood on top of that, so it’s totally dry - but what the crap man :/ Four of the gutters terminate only a couple inches from the house (and some are actually below grade).

The idea here was to add taped metal on top of the wood to shield it from water, so it will ~never rot. A close-up of the corner details (4x4 post bracket) Getting started on the walls too! Worked late today (my contractor, not me… I was busy with a family member 😥)
Permalink Not this :/ Due to the rushing of moving, we had not yet moved any bed frames, we just had 3 mattresses on the floor. I put poly under the big mattress to make it easier to move around in the room - and randomly I happened to notice that water was collecting under the poly!
After more investigation, all the mattresses had water under them, and one of them had the tiniest bit of mold
Gotta love 48" on center ;)
(Sadly, once constructed I absolutely froze my butt off… so cold) Tried covering the room in visqueen, but that didn’t make it any warmer at all (had a heater running inside full blast).
