Picture of outside?
The only photos I have with me are from when a piece of the soffit blew up last October. This was repaired. Apparently my memory is going too. the larger piece of siding was on the other side of the house. Different storm.
This soffit area is lower than where the wood is rotting, so likely just a coincidence. (other than the fact that the builder had a drinking problem)

there is no soffit vent?
you are getting condensation on the inside - it shows along the rafters also.
Is that gable wall the north side of the house? (it can happen anywhere, just that is the coldest wall.)
That's what my wife first thought. But it seems to look like it's rotting thru the wood. I won't know till I get home.there is no soffit vent?

Thanks. Will get this checked.I instantly looked at pics. What you did is not show outside where the location was. My first thought was is there a chimney. You have bad flashing either around chimney where it meets the roof. Or the cap of the chimney is leaking or bad.

Have you checked your chimney cap/flashing? Could be running down from/around the chimney behind/along the siding.Definitely somewhere around where the chimney meets the roof.

I don't own a tall ladder to avoid dealing with shit like this. Same reason I don't own a lawnmower.Have you checked your chimney cap/flashing? Could be running down from/around the chimney behind/along the siding.
This requires a ladder and comfortability walking on a roof. Bring FS downhill rig up top and send it for return to mother earth. Please video.
Looks like you gotta call the Repair man.I don't own a tall ladder to avoid dealing with shit like this. Same reason I don't own a lawnmower.
So what should this really cost?
Bumping this thread cause H2o never forgets.
We had two contractors look at this from the inside and both thought the water damage was old. Neither wanted to climb a ladder.
Last Friday during some heavy downpours my wife was able to video the water running down inside the Chimney and slowly dripping into the fireplace.
Chimney "sales" guy came to the house today and diagnosed the issue without leaving the front steps. For $2400 they'd replace the improper chimney cap with a custom one hand welded by them in their own factory. Would throw in a free gutter cleaning while they were up there. Said all this with a straight face.
