All the stucco and building paper is off, so we could clearly see all the problem areas. The worst areas are the big back family room window, which we already knew about; the front living room window, which we suspected; and the chimney, which was a bit of a surprise.
There is mould and rot starting in several other areas, but the really bad areas are pretty much where we suspected. However, the building paper was done incorrectly around every single window! If we hadn't caught this now, it would have just got worse and worse.
They have replaced plywood and some 2 x 6 studs in the worst areas.
They have also done the new window membranes on several windows, although we are still waiting for our new windows to arrive. I'll post some pictures of this process later once I actually remember to take some :-)
The new shingles are on the roof - thankfully just before this rain started!
Our house is wrapped in plastic now to keep the rain out while they work on it...
