Now I have seen everything..

Could have been a vent hole for a bath fan?

My thoughts as well. That is a lot of condensation freezing to the roof to be passive.

I went back this morning. You know, that gut feeling that tells you to take another look or your in trouble. I took the screen off one opening to find an aluminum channel. Low and behold, they're both drainage channels for the deck above. Yesterday while on the deck I couldn't determine how water was draining. This is the craziest thing to date and explains the water stains on a bedroom ceiling below the water slides.

Most big problems I find are in newer homes. The old ones are fine.

That tile also looks short.(no overhang)
Talk about ugly.

So they wanted to drain the flat part of the roof, through the interior, through the screen, into the gutter?

Yes. I forgot to mention that two neighbors asked me if I was there to fix their roof too.

Erol, I have never come across a drainage system like that, huh (spit)--:))

I thought it might be a new way to install a pet door, for the Cat!

Buyer is willing to pay for a better method of deck drainage. Not seeing this before, I don't what type of professional to recommend. Help here appreciated.

Call me, Erol. I have a guy or two.

Just remove the screen, apply a piece of 1'x2' plywood standing up behind the opening, find a tennis ball, and enjoy hours of fun. We call that basketball round here.
