Default Attn: Anyone? - A real puzzler leaking windowŠ


Hi and thanks for looking in,

I have a two story 1940s brick house. There is an upstairs west-facing
bedroom window that is never a problem. Right below that is a large
downstairs west-facing window that is the problem. Both windows have
been thoroughly calked and recalked.

When it just plain rains, no matter how heavily, there is no problem.
But when the rain is blowing in from the SW, rainwater drips in from
the top molding of that downstairs window.

Now, I can stand outside with the hose on full blast and soak that
entire west-facing wall all day if I wanted to and there wouldn't even
be a drop of water from that molding.

But when the rain blows in from the SW, it drips. And every year, it
drips a little more than it did the year before.

Anyone who has solved a problem drip like that - please tell me how you
did it. You'll be appreciated more than you'd ever know,

Thanks for reading this far.
Mike Sully
