Update: Wet again this morning! I'm wondering if it's condensation. The wood and the plasterwork around the window are so cold to touch on a morning on some parts I can't work out if they are cold or damp. Also, I don't think it rained last night so I reckon it might be condensation..... bugger

Cheers, pal. Appreciate your time.

Hi, So here are the photos from this morning, plus what I have found. The circles indicate where the woodwork was wet. The ticks where it was dry. I was unable to work out whether it was condensation on the wood or water was leaking in? There was considerable condensation on the window this...

Hello, I'd appreciate some advice. I recently sealed my patio with Thompson's one coat patio sealer. Jet washed it clean. Left it to dry in the sun for 4 hours (this might be my error) and then sealed. It looked great - see before and after. before by samtastic73 posted 17 Apr 2020 at 2:39...
