The Off Topic Topic

Depends on the material. If it's cladding it'd be a carpenter.

*edit* look up a siding installer if that's the case, so that a framer doesn't show up and do a piss poor job

It's this thing, I am not even sure it is something to worry about but me discovering it coincided with a weird one-time water leak on top of the window below (which in turn happened a week or two after the window was washed so maybe it was just trapped water getting out):

Not sure what I'm looking at here. The centre-right of the photo, just under the roof?

Start of a vent. Is it attic space upthere or inside?

No the neighbours (it's a semi-detached, we are linked to the direct mirror of our house) do not have that spot and we did not have it during the summer (last pic I could find). Had to be some asshole of a bird working there as they often fuck around on the roof.

I don't think there's a way in there from the loft (I certainly couldn't see one) but yeah I my concern is that there is an actual hole there into some sort of a cavity space where we'll water dripping in and wasps moving in etc.

Since I couldn't figure out what trade this falls under I am just going to ask this roofer guy to have a look and push some sealant into it while he is up there, he might also know somebody who can fix it in a prettier way.

There exists a rule of thumb in start up culture that says the optimum team size is "two pizzas". Meaning the amount of people two pizzas can feed.
....and they think this means 8.
Not 2.

Looks like stucco. So a siding guy who specializes in plaster if you want, but caulking should be fine.

If there's been water intrusion already, since you mentioned a leak, you might have mold issues, but that's a whole other issue.

Also, don't think I've ever heard of a bird make a hole. mice and squirrels on rhe other hand... Little dicks.

I had an issue with woodpeckers, once upon a time.

Right, forgot about them. Not a common bird round these parts.

Amazon's crappy interface really boils my piss. With all that money why cant they do it.
Currently trying to figure out how to put parental restrictions in place beyond a broad u/pg/ages thing. Or even to block individual shows. So hard.

Thanks. The water leak thing I saw at the window under it was very puzzling but this morning I have concluded it is unrelated to The Hole. In fact what seems to be happening is that when it goes below zero degrees outside, so  much condensation builds up in the trickle vent (all windows have this ridiculous vent above them) that it drops/pours into the room through the vent.

You now have your very own Vagina Wall of Solitude.

I suspect that is actually WAD.
