There are no heat sources behind that wall besides a toaster oven that sits
on the counter top and is seldom used. I would think any heat source from
inside would have caused some damage to the cabinet directly above. This is
new housing so the walls are insulated.

I haven't used any chemicals on the deck since the spring of '06.

Looks like a gas or charcoal grill sitting there did the nasty.

It's not a manufacturer defect, or it wouldn't all be in the same spot
like that.

My guess is that you had something on the deck or the railing that
reflected the sun on that spot. Maybe a snow shovel leaning against the
railing, depending on which direction that wall faces. Or maybe
something dark leaning against the wall?

It not only looks melted, it looks burnt. Scary. What is peculiar is
that the melt doesn't look like it goes straight up, as if something hot
was set there and the heat would radiate and rise. Does the light
fixture have curved lenses that could concentrate and focus the
sunlight? Might take an alignment of all the planets for that to happen
) Kids been experimenting?

Wow, that had to be heated over 200 degrees. Given the location, was
anything on the deck rail? Leaning against it? Could the wires behind the
light and receptacle have been shorted and started a fire?

Something like a grill too close could do it, but the location seems
unlikely for that.

Here is a pic of the deck, the damaged area is on the far left. My grill is
under that striped cover on the right.

There is an outlet behind that area. It is a GFCI that controls half of the
kitchen outlets. I have put my hand all over that wall on the inside and
out, I feel no heat and see no damage on the inside including the outlet.

I think we have a winner here- that looks chemical, not heat-related. My
first thought was that whoever did the last stain job on rail got a glob on
wall, and wiped it down with the wrong solvent to clean it off. Even if the
solvent didn't cause immediate visible damage, it could have made the
plastic more sun-sensitive.

That's what I was thinking, seeing the outlet right there, and possibly a
wire path.

I don't think it would be chemicals, vinyl is pretty inert stuff. But I
don't know I've never applied mineral spirits or thinner to it - both would
be used to clean up the finish on that railing.

I did use something to remove some overspray at the time which was the
spring of last year. I think it was Motsenbocker's Lift-Off.
Did the builder leave any siding scraps in garage ceiling, crawlspace, or
similar? Sounds like time for a test. For that matter, since you will be
replacing that area of siding anyway, just test it next to the current
damaged spot. By the way- time to start looking for the matching siding to
do the repairs with. Colors and surface textures change from year to year,
so the place only being a couple years old is in your favor. A good siding
guy should be able to piece in replacement strips with no problem, but he
probably won't wanna hunt down matching material for you. If the builder
still has a local office, they can probably pull up the file and tell you
the make and color number. I'd buy a whole bundle, and keep the extras in
garage attic or similar. You, or the next owner, will need them at some
point.

I'll vote for Doug Miller and aemeijers suggestion -- looks chemical and
likely caused by harsh solvent ingredient (like acetone) used to remove
deck stain overspray and damage took time to become apparent.

http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/Squisher/IMG_6627.JPG

Whatever solvent was used to remove the sloppy overspray from the vinyl.
Look at the bottom of the picture..there s more overspray there..Who
"Sprayed" the vinyl ? They were lazy, should have spent a little time
masking it over prior to staining.

Well problem #1 is that you're using Google to read groups.

The server that is hosting the pictures won't allow links from Google.
Google is the referrer that you see in the error message. When you copy the
link to a new browser then you aren't being "referred" to the page by Google
and it works.

I haven't used any chemicals on the deck since the spring of '06.

Sure doesn't look like it. Did you mean '07 ?

I think we have a winner here- that looks chemical, not heat-related. My
first thought was that whoever did the last stain job on rail got a glob
on
wall, and wiped it down with the wrong solvent to clean it off. Even if
the
solvent didn't cause immediate visible damage, it could have made the
plastic more sun-sensitive.

I did use something to remove some overspray at the time which was the
spring of last year. I think it was Motsenbocker's Lift-Off.

Did the builder leave any siding scraps in garage ceiling, crawlspace, or
similar? Sounds like time for a test. For that matter, since you will be
replacing that area of siding anyway, just test it next to the current
damaged spot. By the way- time to start looking for the matching siding to
do the repairs with. Colors and surface textures change from year to year,
so the place only being a couple years old is in your favor. A good siding
guy should be able to piece in replacement strips with no problem, but he
probably won't wanna hunt down matching material for you. If the builder
still has a local office, they can probably pull up the file and tell you
the make and color number. I'd buy a whole bundle, and keep the extras in
garage attic or similar. You, or the next owner, will need them at some
point.

If the builder is still working in the subdivision, look for the
siding guys. Offer them a few bucks to repair it after work as a
small side job, and ask them if they have any of that siding around.
You may get the right color and have it done without having to call
someone out.

- How are you reading the groups? Google page or a news client?

That looks like the server hosting the pictures does not like the page
you
are coming from.

Google page in IE7, and like I've said...it's only the links in this
thread that are giving me a problem, and it's only when I click on
them in the thread.

Well problem #1 is that you're using Google to read groups.

The server that is hosting the pictures won't allow links from Google.
Google is the referrer that you see in the error message. When you copy the
link to a new browser then you aren't being "referred" to the page by Google
and it works.

Considering it's the only server that I have ever had trouble with, I
think I'll stay with my current methods. Since I read these groups on
multiple machines, some of which I couldn't install a news client on
if I wanted too, I'm not looking to access these groups in different
manners depending on what machine I happen to sit down at. I've got
enough things confusing me already, I don't need to add another
one. ;-)

In any case. thanks for the info.

If you're on a Windows machine, you already have a news reader installed.
