Yes . Something pretty much like that .

In the ceiling 😊 They are much larger than I thought . Was going to cut strips of osb - stick a hole in it . Mount speakers to that . Then sit on the metal T bars that support my suspended ceiling . Cut tile to suit . They might vibrate on the T metal - will wait and see .

Look what has arrived !!!

We’re going to go on until I fix this - possibly thousands of pages …

1st coat done , will do 2nd later today tbh I’m even more sceptical this will fix it . Rain tomorrow so I’ll get a free test ! I do have a new theory on what might be going on , but I’ll keep that under wraps for the next episode!

Hmmmmm . Had long light showers last night and it leaked . It’s concerning because that corner wouldn’t have pooled I don’t think and the concrete is right up to the roof edge . Though not bitumen painted wasn’t expecting that …..

See @Nickfromwales I was being all grown up with no rude stuff then others spoil if for me 😢

Done boss

Had a few ( at swmbo’s request ) . Shite . Battery fails , lights not exactly illuminating the cupboard . If I really need to delve deep into the recesses I use my headband led light .

next to the quoin you mean ? . Yeah I’ll rake that and bitumen paint into it

Only if it works ! Starting to drizzle a bit so zero chance of floating any fall on it now

Bit tricky . But I will bitumen paint up the wall and stone a bit . I’ll thicker paint at that junction also to create a slight fall .

Done

Agree . Thanks for calling my stonewalling historical 😊

Cleaned it out . Didn’t need to go very deep until I hit some concrete ( presumably poured after the slab just to fill in the trench around it ) . That bit I painted bitumen on had some very loose stuff under the edge . Flipped that out and there is a potential gap there . So going to fill will concrete but keep it lower than the asphalt and then bitumen the lot tomorrow.

I’m going to dig out that mot1 area infront and to the left and right a bit . Try to pull the membrane back a bit . Fill that with concrete . Then bitumen everything so the bit in blue will be concrete

You mean here ? Mot type 1 - asphalt ends in that green line just about

Exactly . What to do ? . Dig out and fill with concrete ?

Compacted mot1 I think

Forgot I’ve got some of this It’s the rough ground an issue - but it’s unlikely to move - just (expletive deleted) this over the lot ( professionally speaking )

But what about the compressed loose ground between them ? . Remove replace with concrete or just (expletive deleted) liquid rubber over that also ?

Think what I might do is cut back the membrane for the 1st row of pavers . Dig it out , put concrete in . Then bitumen from asphalt over that .

Or perhaps a piece of flat outdoor plastic laid under the membrane upto the edge of the asphalt. Might give a better seal if bitumen ( or liquid rubber ?? ChatGPT keeps changing its mind ! ) - ??????????
