The house of horror!

It all started innocently enough. A few little water marks on the ceiling of the back room. Hmmm, roof must be leaking, must get that fixed. Roofer comes and investigates. He thinks because of the shape of the roof and ceiling there is not enough air circulation and moisture is rising up and creating condensation so the roof must be raised to allow for more air circulation. This means that the window in Robert's room must be moved up to accommodate the higher roof. Well, that's a lot of work, but then I've been wanting to change these nasty aluminum frame windows to vinyl anyway so let's do it. So we go to remove the old window and that is when things got complicated.



That's not good. But it gets worse!





Then today, Brian takes up the roof and things are looking really ugly!



Yep! That white stuff is mold and the plywood under the window is practically disintegrated. Anyone know a really good, honest and cheap contractor?
