Yes, I tried to look at it like this. Just broke my heart to see a pool of water on the windowsill. Good for you, bkoolrocks! You're giving them a run for their money with their stages. They should be challenged. I guess they'll be painting our place next week.

I get SO much moisture on the inside of my master and ensuite window. It's because the seals are too short I think. I think with yours GG (and my lounge) they hVe sealed the frames properly.
