              garbage
Extensive rot below roof intersection.
This may have been prevented with a counter
flashing, and a kick-out flashing.
Imagine the arrogance of the EIFS manufacturers who claimed no flashing was
needed because their product was waterproof.
Membrane is peeled off like an orange.
Sheathing to the left is wet and rotted.

If the advancement of a civilization is shown
by it's buildings, it sure is a sad comment on our society they make buildings out of EIFS garbage.
