Never been asked this question 🙄

Excuse me ! . After 10 yrs + on my build I ain’t no amateur - I’m a (expletive deleted)ing legend !

I am ! Might take me a while . I laser’d , spirit level and a line thru - did that on every block . Paranoia about going wobbly was too much ! Blockwork king 💪🩲

Look , look ! I did straight ( ish ) and level ( ish ) blockwork !

Hosed the corner this morning. Made the tinniest damp area appear . So small it didn’t even form a droplet of water . So a bit more investigation required .

It’s at the end of the run and about 7ft up on a long skinny lane . So I’ll never see it . Just wanted a proper solution . Technically water could run over the side I.e bypass any drip channel , yeah ?

🙄 you reckon ? . I reckon ; YES !

I have 2 everything presence ones covering the lounge area . So both need no detection for lights to go off . Been about 3 months now - 100% success .

Yeah - those copings were ‘ as supplied ‘ . I might deepen and widen the drip channel and cap the end . Too scared to not implement everything

So many jokes there ….

I could do . Just assumed a ‘cap’ was better …

I could try 3d printing something . Modelling the shape though will be difficult ( for me ! ) . But then it could be a continuous ‘cap’ ebt stuck down .

Was dry so repeated the soaking . Problem is just sweat on my fingers makes it tricky ! Will check inside in 10 mins

Bone dry today as expected inside . Just hosed the entire corner making sure it spills over the coping stone . Will wait 10 mins . Check inside . If dry will repeat .

I hosed the other side of the coping but made sure some ran onto this side . It does seem to get across the drip channel . So I think I do need something covering this entire end and directing all water away .

😊 - good measurements 🫤🤔 I did look at this type of thing - not sure if it’s practical for what I want . To do a neat job with it might be tricky .

I *think* rainwater is getting in under / around it . Have cemented any gaps I can find but would prefer a ‘cap’ to fully cover it and force water to run off it completely.

This is a question from my ‘that leak ‘ thread - but it’s a specific issue . I want to cap / flash the end of this twice weathered caping stone . Something malleable I guess ? . Want to completely cover it on the side and front edge . What’s best to use and how to apply it ?

Really want a better way to finish that edge - some form of flashing ???

Hmmmmm Some gaps . So I guess in theory when I hose the wall and coping stone it could run down this side - track under pass the drip channel . There are gaps - so will mix some cement and fill them

Zero water ingress as far as I can tell . So … need to look at that coping stone - the other side !

Was touch clammy on the leak spots this morning . So decided to tip carefully 2 watering cans of water over just the roof seams . Hour later no evidence of a drip . Hosed just the bottom 25cm of the render - so testing that stone joint and the roof seams again . Hour later no evidence of additional water ingress …. Going to try hosing the entire corner but not over the coping stone . Potentially as the coping stone is twice weathered water could run off in both directions .

Do you mean like a barrier on the asphalt ?

??? Idiot diagram please

Could do . My test on the seams was inconclusive. Going to tip watering cans of water just over the roof / seams tomorrow. You mean paint the seams with this rubberised paint yes ?
