Our house is from the 1980s, if that helps explain what’s going on. I’ll try to get a photo when the suns back up. If it’s as you’ve described, what then is the function of the gutters? I thought they took the water captured by the roof and kept it from being deposited along the home’s...

Wanted to add a photo and ask if overboarding is recommended in the first place? I replaced a few boards. There are gaps to the right of the new boards (especially if you ignore the tongue), and a knot hole in the bottom left.

Water is getting into our conservatory and has ruined part of our windowsill. The water pools in one corner. Somebody advised me to apply CT1 to seal the gap between our conservatory windows and the sill on the outside to stop the leak. It didn’t work, and now somebody else has said that I...
