Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I think that stuff is a clone of Thompson's water seal which is ok ish for a while and then needs redoing.
Synthaprufe aka Black Jack is a little better and can go onto a damp surface as it is water based bitumen emulsion but it is filthy to use in a visible location and also will benefit from redoing every few years.
If you really don't want to do the concrete fillet - which is possibly the best solution, then synthaprufe on the inside up the dwarf walls and overlapping onto the concrete slab is a second or third best.
Not sure on what your intended floor detail is which might make a difference.
Just my 2p but Mike is the guv'nor on these matters

Thanks, I think I will go with that option initially for ease and aesthetics
To encourage the water to drain away you could make a small channel with a grinder. Use a stone cutting disc and grind a single channel parallel to the brickwork to the edge of the slab. If you made some sort of jig you could put a slight incline in it to ensure the water runs away freely. It need only be the thickness of the disc, and only a few mm deep, to stop water from pooling in front of the bricks.
