With our attempts to water proof the bar, so far we are stopping 99% of the water getting in, when the\u00a0french doors<\/a>\u00a0go up soon in the near future as well as the final wall, the area will be enclosed. But not 100% water proof. It is one of the situations that until you actually see what I am talking about, it is very difficult to actualy explain. But I will give it a go anyway.<\/p>\n

Water still leaks and runs down a path which if it is heavy rain will run down under the water tank and seep in to the bar. I do have a short term fix for that and the long term idea is a major section will be under cover down the track which will stop water for getting in anyway. However that is like a couple of years away and my short term fix is concrete a lip and angle the water to a drain. This will stop most of the water but probably not all on the really heavy continous rains.<\/p>\n

The second lot comes from uder the house. We are on a hill and the water runs down and part of it is when we\u00a0dug the basement and concreted the floor<\/a>\u00a0we put in a small drain. We put this in before the thought of actually having a bar on the other side of the wall was even a conception. However we have a fix for this as well it just means digging a another drain further up under the house and lay some drain coil.<\/p>\n

Now the\u00a0minor win<\/strong>\u00a0comes from since we built the bar on a patio under a deck that was never suppose to be enclosed, and the last major leak that was causing me issuses may (or may not I am still holding my breath on this one)\u00a0 be fixed. However I am only quietly confident of the fix. Till I have a few more rains it is still a wait and see situation. But the last couple we have had in the last week have been good signs of success.<\/p>\n

Overall I am confident I will be able to do it just each fix is usually trial and error so it may not work first time round.<\/p>\n

Anyway the\u00a0French Doors\u00a0have been made ready for painting and sealing so we are slowly getting there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
