In my attic I have noticed some moisutre on my chimney... when it pours down
raining, I even see a drip or two and have buckets up there...

Here in Seattle... just the last month we are approaching I believe were at
something like 23 days striaght of rain... I believe 32 is the record! With
the wind and the rain... it's hard at times to totally seal up your chimney.

I will be tackling this issue in the coming weekend. I believe I can get
some tar and just "cake the heck" out of the area where the brick meets the
deck of the roof... I think there is a layer of flashing up there to also
work around. Roof is only 7 years old... it's just an issue on the one side
of the chimney of course... where the wind and weather ususually come
from....

I have heard that the best thing to do is use a "hot torch"... I guess you
really get thru to the cracks and seal it up that way??? Were in the middle
of winter however!

Any ideas on the best way to do this... much appreciated
