Thanks for this – learned something new about drip moulds and label stops:

Who's Kentucky? Certainly not me.

As for obscure architectural water management features, they are much in use here in the Peak District

Weren't you kypd? If not then I am mistaken and apologise.

I was kypd38 for a while but it stood for Keep Your Powder Dry, nothing to do with Kentucky.
