    Had a little left in my kit and another small foundation crack to deal with in the house exterior.
    Same process, but more visual as to the results.

    Note the foam you see is oozin up from below ground level, and from the very top where the foundation ends.
    Optimistic this stuff will work as advertised.

    first good rain of the fall and I go down expecting a dry basement.
    Nope, water coming in still. Can’t believe I missed this before but look at the window.

    Bubbling through that split in the lower frame like a hose.
    But look at the water line I missed before on the window pane itself!! It’s like 3” high or more.
    Somehow that window well gets either more rain that the other, or doesn’t drain the same. Either way I need to make a cover for it, like a wooden seat or something. Next sunny day in fact.
    Luckily caught this before the flood left the one room but damn. Never ends. At least the foundation repairs are dry!
    New window and possibly some new drainage in the spring.

    You can get a window well cover at least temorary cheap.

    But without seeing everything a trench at least for the winter and spring would help.

    Been using the same guy for windows over our three homes in this town and while he’s semi retired now he still wants to pick up work so is doing our 4 windows for a fair price, IMO.
    As another upgraded I ordered a new house sign off Etsy from a local artisan with a CNC laser cutter.
    Ripped this out of 16 gage steel and back lit it.

    I added the wood frame and stand off’s, and it looks pretty spiffy on the joint.
    Adds some light where I removed the pot light for the surveillance cam last year. And can change colours via a remote.
    Easy to see from the street now, which is always safer..
