Dug out the end . Got my nice concrete / bitumen slab . ground to right of quoin seems dry even as I dig down . Ground in front of quoin damp - so suggests waters still getting in . Going to tidy this up then concrete in the lot

Yes . I was wondering that . When it pisses down decking will direct water right at the glazing . Then pour down just before it

I still don’t get it . It’s pissed down for weeks everything was swimming in water zero leak from this front part . (expletive deleted)s me off

Well the upstands leak everywhere 😂 . But that leak is highest point . Tempted to just (expletive deleted) expanding foam all in there

It’s the front I don’t get . Blocks not down had weeks of torrential rain . Zero leak . Put blocks back it leaks ! . What’s changed ? I’ve raised the level infront that wall a few mm ….

Brings a tear / tear to my hole

It does - I was looking at that . But f me - it’s hard too see how it gets in from that . More annoyed at the “ big leak “ fix . I’m an atheist but gods a (expletive deleted)

I’m going to reseal those 2 front ones next summer - just amazes me that water likes coming in my house so much !

So roof is at Green. It then goes up over the upstands definitely coming in at blue . I just don’t see ( apart from rising water ) how it gets from green .Upstands height Is green to blue ! . New one on me to add to the list ! . I know the upstands leak because the front one is really low to the ground - just can’t see how water gets in at the rear and highest point

Another new leak . Strange one . Coming in over upstand . But the roof ends at the top of the brickwork then the asphalt goes up and over the timbers . So the depth of glass to timber is the combined height of all the timbers . Not 30cm of course - but a fair bit . I quickly took up the decking at that corner expecting to find it blocked or water pooling - but nothing . So it’s not water rising high and coming in . So I’m confused how ??

I tipped a jug of water in that corner - it flowed out onto the lane - as it should . Perhaps putting the pavers in I caused a crack underneath ? Anyway ! New plan . As I completely concreted upto the edge of that coping stone . I’m going to angle grind it in half . Dig it out and a bit into the lane . Concrete that and bitumen .

But look at that corner . kiln dried sand got no where to go . But in that corner it’s funnelled down . Perhaps the sand has actually helped me by showing the route ?? Unclear with no pavers down and torrential rain it didn’t leak ….

Obviously sand has washed away and I’ve effectively re directed water flow . Might get the sand out at the base of the wall and cement that bit where the sand is

Put the block paving back just a few days ago . Lots of rain . Leaks !!!!

Had another look looks same too me . Can see red brick in some of the cracked plaster . Zero cracking outside which I find really strange if subsidence . Got someone looking today who will go in eaves and maybe remove some of the plaster . I suspect the brickwork is solid ( fact I could see it and no obvious cracks in brickwork) - but requires investigation

Ok checked with broker i.e. not talked to insurer and I am covered for subsidence . So do I tell insurer now that "I think theres a problem" . Do they send an expert out to look?

I'm being to think this is the issue. This under pinning yes?. Will insurance cover this? The reason I asked is we had a water tank in the loft fail and cause 5k of damage. That counts as escape of water. This though effectively sub sidence? - well insurer claim I'm not covered for this i.e. 2 "water" issues ? even though clearly they are unrelated.

Right I've been informed this crack is worse. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. The roof leaks still there - roofer supposedly attending tomorrow to do that. On the assumption this crack isn't just from the leak how do I approach the insurance company?. Do I approach them first?; what do I do? Cheers

This ! Your body does adapt . Hair grows round it eventually - I know this to be true 😂

So true , so true …

I think Claude code can but (expletive deleted) me for $20 a month I get about 10 ‘prompts’ then I’m stuffed until 2am ! . I do literally 100 messages an hour with chat . I suspect everyone who uses Claude code etc on here has a works “ maximum “ account .

Yes it can ? Yes it can’t ? . It’s telling me Claude code can

Claude is telling me it can’t push or pull from git !!! don’t have the ability to access git repositories, and this isn’t a feature that’s available through any paid tier or upgrade. My capabilities are the same regardless of subscription level when it comes to external system access. I cannot: • Access GitHub, GitLab, or any git repositories via URL • Clone, pull, or push to repositories • Browse remote code repositories • Execute git commands on your system • Connect to external development tools or version control systems claude code ! AI so advanced it doesn’t mention that !
