You're quite the moron aren't you? You are the only one who has ever
suggested that there would be discoloration on the vinyl siding. Vinyl
siding will soften to the point of sagging from gravity well before it
will discolor. The photos the OP posted clearly do not show any
discoloration on the siding either.

Moron? Me? No, actually, Pete, I think that would be *you* here. The photos
the OP posted VERY CLEARLY show substantial discoloration of the siding.
Here's the link that was in the original post:

Now go look at that for the FIRST time, Pete, since it's blindingly obvious
you've never seen it before. See the discoloration, MORON?

I've looked at it several times and it's abundantly clear that there is
no discoloration of the siding, only a change in the shadows and the
reflection angle due to the deformation. Perhaps if you clean the crud
of your monitor and or get some glasses you'll be able to see this fact.

Looking again, this time on a system with a CRT monitor instead of LCD,
it appears there may be some discoloration on the vinyl siding.


I assume this means I'll be seeing an apology from you sometime soon?


No, since you attacked my analysis of the evidence well before there was
any discussion of discoloration.

My analysis still stands as well since absent any evidence that there is
not comparable discoloration on the back of the siding, all the other
evidence still points solidly to an internal heat source.

Other evidence:

* Greater damage to the Tyvek.
* Damage pattern not consistent with radiant heat from a grill placed
too close.
* Damage continuing behind the railing also not consistent with radiant
heat from a grill.
* Electrical boxes surrounding the damage location indicating numerous
wires in that wall area.
* Extra nails seen in the damage area and indeed very close to a known
electrical box location.
