hello. i am in need of a lot of help!! here's my sad story... in 2001 we had our 2 story house resided with vinyl siding. there were newer vinyl replacement windows in the home when we moved in in 1998. about 6 months to a year later we noticed water would come in the house during a heavy rain. it came in right where the family room (which is on the back of the house, looks like an addition but was built originally with the house) meets the kitchen. the roof was old so we had it replaced. the water still kept coming in. unfortunately, the roofing company had since gone out of business so we called another company. the guy came out and said it could be the roof but it could also be the window since it appears that the siding guys trimmed over the drip holes on the windows upstairs (which are right over the spot where water comes in.) he showed us how to do a water test. it did not leak when the hose was sprayed on the roof area. it did leak when the hose was sprayed on the windows. today i had a window repair guy come out. i wanted another opinion and if it was confirmed that this was the case i thought it'd be a simple repair. he did say that the trim was over the drip holes and he saw no place where the water could escape. he suggested that i go back to the siding company and make them fix it and pay for the damage to the ceiling in my kitchen and family room. there is mildew spots showing up on the ceiling, the drywall is messed up, and lord only knows what's going on with the wood underneath. i am afraid that any day my cupboards are going to come crashing down. and what about mold??? there are 6 windows that were trimmed over and i can't see the drip holes on any of them. here's another thing... let's say this is the problem. if so, could it cause my basement to flood? our basement was dry until 2004. we had a few heavy rains in the summer and it was wet ever since. last summer we had new drain tiles put in at the cost of $5000. before i call the siding company i just want some advice as i'm not sure how to handle this. what would you do?? thanks for your help!!

Hello, I once purchased some Pine and the employee stated that it was the best and that it was commercial grade. Is there such a thing or is it the same as #1 grade pine.
