And...The Roof is Still Leaking

I posted a while ago that I made a second attempt to stop the roof leak in the laundry room by applying a roof-sealer to the valley seam. I've been waiting for it to rain decently (so I can look for leaks) for at least a week. When it's rained lately, it's been more of a drizzle. I needed an all day, steady rain. Well, this past Thursday it finally rained properly, and...

...the roof is still leaking. Not as much, but any water infiltration is too much. Looking up through the hole in the drywall below, the nail that had been the main drip source was still dripping, but very slowly. Not enough to puddle below, or run down the sloped ceiling, which is good, I guess.

*Uncle!* I give up. There isn't anything left to caulk/seal up there - the shingles look in fine shape, nothing missing or gapping. The vent stack flashing in that area is fine. The roof area that feeds that valley is huge, so the leak location could be anywhere. I just can't see anything remotely suspicious up there. I think my current plan is to IGNORE the problem for a while. ( I am a bad houseblogger! Shame on me.) Maybe it will heal itself. Yeah, that's gonna happen.

Besides, I've got a new problem (hence the title of my Blog). The exhaust fan in the main bathroom is making screaming noises. I've cleaned it, and oiled it, and it got happy for a day or so, but today is screaming louder than ever. B says it's bearings are shot. That means replacement. It's 30 years old, so I guess it's just time. I liked that fan.
