I'm just in from investigating the possible source of some damp patches that appeared on the inside wall of the sunroom last week, just underneath the windowsill. At the moment it there's no mould or anything, but the paint has the same appearance as if some water spilled onto a sheet of paper and is slightly damp to the touch. I got the ladder out and had a look at the gutters outside, but they're totally clear apart from less than a handful of pine needles in the very end. Checked the window frame and wasn't 100% convinced I could see a perfect seal between it and the exterior plaster, so I've run a bead of all-weather sealant around the join of the window frame and wall on the outside, also going down the join of the window ledge. Can't see any cracks or holes anywhere so hopefully that's all that was needed. Anything else I should look for?

Did Santa have a slash when he was passing through?

Sealant should sort it if the seal is broken. There are some poor sealants out there. We use solurub 2 which is flexible yet seals great. Check the brand or quality before doing it.

Happily the marks appeared several days after Christmas day, but in any case Santa doesn't come to our house after reading internet contributions of mine such as those in the "Protecting Yourself" thread.
The sealant I used is Larsens, so should be ok. I also have a couple of tubes of Tec-7 if that doesn't do the job.

Normally its given as 600mm, but in reality it must be below the frost level of the areas you are in.

We have a leak in the shower. It's rarely used, but the Ma was over last weekend and water pished down from it to the kitchen below.
I've resealed the edges of the shower, but it's still happening. My guess is that it's a cracked outlet pipe somewhere. Other than to be plundered by a plumber, is there anything I can do?
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
Pour a bucket of water directly down the plughole/drain in the shower tray, if it leaks still there's your problem, if it's a loose join in the pipe it's a simple fix, and if you're handy at that stuff DIY, get some plumpers tape.
Main issue is accessing the pipe if that's where the problem is.
Ran the water for a bit and it's still leaking. Can't pour too much water down as it's directly over the recessed kitchen lightening (it's a wonder teh Ma didn't get fried ..).
Hmm .. do I want to do it this Sunday after being out all day Saturday at the HEC final?

Don't mind the leak, much more importantantly - who will you be supporting?

fitzy, sounds like the outlet pipe has come off the bend. Fixed this recently for a friend. good news, its a simple fix if it is that, bad news, the only way we could access it is from the ceiling below, i.e. cut a small section of plasterboard off the ceiling and go at it from there. we spent a long time measuring out from the walls where the drain was. this allowed us to cut only about a ft by a ft out and had plenty access at that. i used cement to get the pipe back on the elbow. sets relatively quick and smells great.
Only other option is pull the tray, but you'd really want to be considering a redecoration for that.
One quick thought, i replaced the mothers bathtub last year as the water was going through tiny cracks in the bottom of the tub. this was mainly down to age, can't remember how old it was, but definately 15 or so years. hardly falling through the shower tray is it?
I would spend all day Saturday fixing it. Then you'll have missed the (spit) game, not have to worry about the if onlys and aren't we crap and the slagging from BOTH sets of supporters at the game. And have Sunday free for a a nice walk and dinner.Ran the water for a bit and it's still leaking.

And then sure isn't it Monday, 2012 HEC over-we're looking forward to 2013. Who cares who's won the 2012 final?

It's a fairly new shower tray flatpass - probably 5 years or so.
The thought of cutting a hole in the kitchen roof doesn't sit well with me. Might be time to bring in the experts!
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
The cutting part isn't the hardest, its fixing the hole that is.doubt its the tray so.
And for the record i wouldn't blame you for getting sketchy about the hole. I was the same in the mates place, but once i told him it was probably the only way, he was happy enough to do it, and it's easier for me to do it if its not my own house.
You're sure its down the drain its coming, i know you said you couldn't pour much down, but when you did, it was specifically the plug hole was it?
You will find some plumbers who will do this job and plug the hole in the board as they've gotten good at it over a number of years. if you ring around and ask a few, you never know.
Anyone got a good method for removing old carpet liner that has been glued to a concrete floor?

I a m trying to think of a big paint scraper and I come up with a snow scrapper or garden hoe.
...and Mr. Crow comes on for Mr. Magpie.
I did that a few years back with an old flat shovel. Anybody know where I could buy smallish quantities of sealant for tanking + membrane for a small shower area - taking a week's hols this week and cathcing up with a few wee jobs around the house.
B&Q have a scraper, about 18" long with a 6" blade, it would probably do the job for you.
Anybody with any experience of changing front fogs in a Santa Fe? I'm pretty ok around cars and always change bulbs etc myself over the years but my current car has me baffled, it looks like I will have to take half of the front end of the thing!!

Oh jebus Boo there will be a box of spare parts left over after that! A joke to have to take off a bloody bumper to replace a 2 euro bulb.
