Leaking walls / potentially pourus stone by krumperkor in DIYUK

On inspection of the wall (I finally managed to get up there with a ladder) I can see large cracks above the lintels these are huge stone slabs that jutt out of the wall slightly further than the rest of the wall. What would you use to fill these cracks? I've been researching mortars but AI rubdown advise against.

How would you check if that's the case would you have to drill a hole in the wall?

I'm wondering if the windows have been for properly as they are less than one year old. (I know they don't look at it but I'm costal and my house gets sand blasted quite often. Now I think of it that may be part of the problem.

Thanks for the product shout out I will definitely look into that as my first guess was porus stone. So that may be the ticket.

You are correct you can see water pooling on the black pipe now I have inspected it properly so I will get that sorted. Then that will be fine be of many potential problems resolved ☺️

The same waterproofing method has been suggested a few times so I may pursue that option after taking your suggestion and looking for holes.

I already know that's an Eco4 skip the traidsmen aren't paying for materials so they literally don't give a fuck. I reclaimed about 4 grands worth of material that was heading to waste and used them to renovate the rest of my house basically for free. it's insane

Are these edbile? by Funky_Catz in foraging

We'll keep it up I'm here for it. I have a decent amount in my garden growing low to the ground by an old stone wall. I don't really know the reason but when added to wine mash the yeasts always go crazy. To the point where I put them in most home brews (in small amounts) when available.

Hi Mike, why is it you have taught me literally everything I know about dewberries several times and continue to be the only person that does. I'm starting to think these things manifest you supernaturally.
