No diverter is present there at all. There's a bunch of things going on here that could be causing this problem and I think it would be best to address all of them at once:

  • No diverter
  • No drip edge present along gutter, and I've seen water drip from soffit vents. It's possible water is coming into the damaged area from where the soffit meets the wall
  • Vinyl siding was installed over original wood composite. It's questionable whether the step flashing is effective given the setup
  • Gutter potentially too small - I have to clean it out like 6 times a year even with gutter guards over most of it

Good point on the rafter tail. I'll look in the attic in that area to confirm.

Yeah there's flashing above there and it's possible this is the source of the leak.

I'm afraid what I'm going to have to do is take all the siding off above here to expose the flashing and inspect it and repair. Then to remove and fix the rot I'm gonna have to take everything apart to get into that area behind the soffit - remove the gutter, fascia, etc to gain proper access

Wow this is nuts! Had no idea this was a tactic in WWII. Thanks for sharing and for the context

Interesting! Is this the only one in Wyoming or are there other geological features like this with a similar origin?

I noticed that too and I dumped Chrome for FF on every machine I use as soon as I read about this

Why not? Is this not an appropriate place to park?

This is an industrial winding / reeling machine. Used for reeling up product made using a continuous extrusion process. 30,000ft of product fit on a single reel.

It's the blue machine on the right with the 8020 clear guards on it

"Yes Bartholomew, back it up"

Oh for sure. Definitely not disagreeing with that

If they could fix these issues via OTA then they wouldn't be forced to do physical recalls. They've had windshields fly out of their frames at highway speed, steering wheels come off, catastrophic lower ball joint separation, vehicles leaving their factory with missing brake pads...software updates only take you so far
