Hi
My basement has a window that lets air in through a pit that it's top is reachable from my garden. It's very nice for airing the basement, but the problem is that in the winter the pit gets filled up with water and the water seeps through the pit and causes dampness on the wall in the basement.
I've been trying to look for the best way to protect the pit from the rain while still letting air and light come in, so that the window doesn't lose it's point.
Any ideas? Thanks
