The first Mariner homestand is over. I hope the next one has better weather.
T-Mobile Park has a “roof” but it’s really more of an umbrella. Those familiar with umbrellas know that it is possible for rain to get under the canopy, especially with wind. And we were rained on almost the entire game yesterday.
And the weather continues to come into the house, although limited to the garage. These have been heavy rain, but not the atmospheric rivers. I think the garage has likely had this problem over the years, but we weren’t paying as much attention. I am paying attention now. The water is actually coming through a few holes and cracks. I’m going to start looking for a sealant to try on the inside of the concrete wall. Lower cost attempt for now.
There has obviously been other issues in the past, and it would appear other coatings as well. Since we have owned the house there have been at least 2 respectable earthquakes and we had earthquake retrofit done that included drilling into the concrete foundation to attach braces. All of this may have opened up cracks.
Now I need to look for any pre-retro fit photos to look for changes. Or not, and just look for potential solutions. Or not, and deal with occasional water intrusion.

I do so hate leaks! My shed is experiencing some problems. I would hate to have it torn down, but it may come to that. I’m glad we haven’t had the atmospheric rivers even though the rain has been heavy at times. Hope you can figure out the water situation!

If it stays limited to the garage I can take some time to figure out our solution. It’s such a sinking feeling when they show up. Looking forward to this relatively nice weekend.
