Nice chimney cap
NOT!
I knew there was something wrong with the cap as soon as I pulled up. I just didn't expect this! hhmm If I didn't know better, I would guess that the homeowner took it off (it was a foreclosure).

Re: Nice chimney cap
Looks like a fairly recent event. Top edge of the 2x and OSB is in too good a shape to have been that way for very long. Signs of water damage in the house below?

They should caulk it before it begins to leak.

Re: Nice chimney cap
Almost seems like it was taken off right before I got there! We have had rain but no dampness detected or visible with infrared at the interior.

Re: Nice chimney cap
What were those green washers, self-adhering tabs and the whole thing blew off.?
That roof has got a bad case of extractive bleeding.
