And the little shoulders on the fireplace where it meets the roof looks out of wack.

I can't post a bigger picture, this site won't take it.

There is a cricket behind the chimney.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!

Check out the drip edge, it's right up against the wall sheathing. A big leak with damaging results with no doubt. We removed the roof shingles, added fascia and shingle moulding so the siding would be installed under the roof, so to speak. Look at the finished picture, you can see the trim we added. 4 Contractors bid on the siding and I was the only one who brought up this issue. If my client had gone with one of the other three they would have had water issue's. I guess it helps being an inspector, I always look at building as if I'm inspecting them.
