They can last a lifetime ,if use properly.

We drove from the south to North Wales yesterday / last night. Unbelievable amounts of water in some places. Made the 20mph village limits about right though !!

Hoping the MTB trails dry out quick !!!

The house roof was replaced earlier this year .
Now my garage roof has started dripping .
It is attached to the side of the house
The toilet soil stack goes through the roof .
Leaking between the wall and the soil stack .
It is a felt roof .
Any recommendations for sealer .
I dont mind using a bit of heat .

Black Jack and flashing. With wet weather dry it out with compressed air and then a heat gun....that's what I did with conservatory roof lean-to joint after futile attempts with various 'super' pricey silicones. 5years no leaks.

4 months ago we got a huge thunderstorm .
In one night we had almost 400 milions of euros of damages ( houses , factories , farms ... ) . A town here had 99% of houses with roofs destroyed , got pictures from there and it looked like a war zone .

We had damages to our shop roof too , solved at 70% now . We are planning a new roof , damn expensive obviusly .

No help from government , they promised money but only those who had a policy are in safe now .
Nobody had helped us till now , and nobody will in the future .

North Wiltshire was hammered yesterday. Drove through Dauntsey last night and it's underwater. Christian Malford was flooded where it normally does.

Dozens of cars broke and its heartbreaking talking to the owners who's houses are flooded out.

Even a small amount of water from a burst pipe is bad...but dirty flood water must be totally soul destroying.

Rain on canvas, best thing ever

I agree. I used to love being tucked up in a sleeping bag with the rain lashing down. As long as no-one decides to touch the canvas, that is.

....at least all that precipitation was above 32f/0c......2 more weeks and we will have "white rain".

True, but they weren't thought of when I was a scout

I was camping at a place called Amber in France one year, near the Puy de Dom. It rained so hard one night that the rain was exceeding the Hydrostatic Head of the tent fabric and water was coming through the fabric in the form of a mist. Only lasted a short while and the tent never suffered from it again. The tent was a Kayam Biker. it never leaked again.

That must have been crazy hard rain. Love my biker, been using one for over 15yrs. They stand up to heavy rain and wind very well, so long as you guy them down correctly. I've seen plenty in the skip because they havent.

Bought my first tent in 56 and that had a flysheet and a sewn in groundsheet . Still got it .

There's a road in my town that floods literally every time we have a big rainstorm. It's been going on for years, lots of talk about sorting it, lots of organisations set up, lots of council surveys, even our MP has stood in it wearing wellies, any chance for a public photograph....

I dread to think what it must be like to live there, as there's no chance you can sell up and move, or get flood insurance.

All train services north from Bristol were cancelled yesterday. I was at Plymouth and huge delays on Cornwall direction, too.

 

[OJCar]

This morning I drove down from near Edinburgh, where it was persisting down .
By Moffat dry roads, shopped in Carlisle in sunshine.
Upper Eden has had very light drizzle today but over the hill in Swaledale it is a totally different story.
It always bemuses me how different the weather can be in such a short distance on our strange little Isle.

Jesus, Plymouth what a place to get stuck, avoid the main drag.

I only saw the station.
