Been drizzling for a while now in Parkhurst with lightning and thunder in the background. So nice.

I measured 5mm overnight which was great but what is better is no visible roof leaks

No thanks, every time there is a lightning storm by us our main substation gets taken offline and takes half the day to fix.

The bulk of our house is fine, one section of our main garage roof has sporadic issues mainly due to the amount of water that is channeled to it, and then we have the ****ing kitchen skylight, ****ing skylights!

My one spare room has a skylight. I stood there for a couple of minutes last night to check for leaks. Thank goodness it is ok.

Never understood why someone deliberately makes a hole in a roof. Never seen any of things ever being trouble-free.
