Thread: Home improvements

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.
