This old house

Thanks Dana!

We're in the midst of a monsoon so this minor issue just became major... Why would the second floor window area be leaky?

Shown here above the Liberty, missing a shutter:


Not the actual glass area, but the stone around it. Today the plaster is sloughing off the interior wall and dripping onto the steps shown here:




The front of the house was definitely repointed about 15 years ago - I assumed the rest of the house was done at the same time, but if not, is that the problem/solution?

I'd bet the water is working it's way in from the seam of the roof along the bay if it isn't being blown in the front.

(OOPS! 2nd floor not third... no idea)
