The rain has subsided to an annoying drizzle, so I was able to put a ladder up and look at the foundry roof. Sure enough there IS a bit of a build up of moss and rather too much overhanging willow tree. I expect that the water isn't clearing fast enough and is tracking back up the overlapping joints when the rain is heavy. Talking of heavy rain - the bore hole is now OVERFLOWING :bugeye: The Black Jack to paint the newly cleaned manhole frame and cover has arrived, but that can't go on until the weather changes. |

Odd that a borehole so deep should react so fast to rainfall, but no matter, it is all to the good as far as the project is concerned! Phil |

Well, that explains why the lid was so rusty - it's probably been being soaked from the underside on a regular basis for the last 50 years! |
| awemawson:
Probably so Ade ! I'm hoping to be able to incorporate an overflow pipe at the level of the lowest brick course. I happen to have a run of perforated ground drain not very far from there, (albeit the other side of a Portakabin) that joins into the main run of surface drains to the stream - with any luck I can intercept it and join in. |

There must be some artesian well type of effect taking place. Is there anything in the local geology to explain this? |
