Snow and rain - mitigation ideas

[basswipe]

Not for nothing but you bought a house that is almost 160yrs old.Screw the band-aid fixes,at some point you're going have to spend $$$,get it done and get it done right.Been in this business way to long to tell you anything different.

For the moment do what you have to do...but don't wait to long.Think about the fact you've been in this house for a short while...the issues you are experiencing have been happening long before you got there,the damage you don't see is probably much more than you think.

Water issues have more to do with the addition than the old structure which is rock solid. It's not a chronic issue...just the addition of snow and rain together create a situation.
