I have had enough with this issue so coming to you guys for ideas. Last year we put in a pool and paver patio. We already had an existing concrete patio and the thin pavers were placed on top of the existing patio. Any time hard rain hits the back of the house, water gets under the door and covers the garage floor. We never had this issue prior to installing the pool so it obviously has something to do with the patio now being raised. The patio is now essentially flush with the door threshold. My dad and I put in a new exterior door last year as the bottom corners of the old door had rotted over the years so I thought a mew door might fix the issue. It did not. Do any of you have any ideas as to what I could do to keep water from entering the garage? FYI it comes in under the threshold.

Hey all, I have a number of pretty old windows that I think are the double-hung types. I've been having issues with closing them especially. Opening can be tough too. The biggest issue is that I can't seem to push the sliding window down enough to latch/lock some of the windows fully. Any ideas on what I can/should do to remedy this? [i]I applied a bit of superglue to this one and tucked it back in - definitely not a long-term fix.[/i]
