LOL!! I can hear the conversation now: "Darling, wouldn't it be nice if we had kind of a terrace thingy over the entranceway? And we could plant, like, Jasmine or something and let it climb all over it to shade the front door."

Scott probably a little late for E & O structure was built in 1983 The chimney was just as bad. Had considerable leakage into attic look at the chimney in relation to the ridgeline.

The second pic shows two gables with ajoining valley that had no guttering water running down the side of the brick veneer and overshooting on to the next condo wall???
