I think the windows are from the 1980's. There were cracks which was letting ants in during the spring, so we filled them in at the time with weatherproof caulk (the white stuff on the wall) which I never got round to painting. It was ironically one of my jobs for this week but now I've got...

We have a 1930's terrace with a bay. There was a crack appearing on the paintwork at this ground floor joint, which we painted over maybe 2-3 years ago. It then got worse and today, after some heavy rain, the area was damp. I decided to hack back the paint and plaster to see how bad the crack...
