    Default The Shop Mini-Flood



    Getting your feet wet is not a good strategy for a work bench. Endgrain always looks nicer when not soaked. That's why I store my bench indoors....



    The weather has been consistently wet. 65mm in the past 48hours. Winds ~30km/hr with gusts up to 55km/hr.






    Water is coming through the plastic membrane (above the first row of bricks) and little around the window frame. It also seems to be soaking straight through the bricks.




    No easy way to fix the problem (esp. while it's still wet.) Time to shift some timber and get the bench off the floor.
