bitumen paint

A homeowner working on a foundation renovation has painted what they call a waterline, correcting themselves to a soil line, around the house, likely as part of bitumen coating or damp-proofing work. They shared a tip for removing masking tape by reeling it onto cardboard as it comes off, avoiding contact with the sticky side. The post is light in tone, with the poster admitting to some hope they got the line right and expressing pride in the workaround.
