Window well drainage problem

During heavy rainstorms, water collects around this window well and floods in from the bottom and into the basement from the window. There is a downspout also 5’ to the right of it. Should I dig a French drain for the downspout and add a catch basin for water in the area? Fixing the grade might solve the problem also as there is a flat spot here.

Roof installation issue

Installed this 10x12 shed and did not overhang the sheathing enough at the rake or extend the rafters past the eaves. How big of a water damage issue is this going to cause? Is there any solution to it at this point without tearing at all out and redoing it?

Hi all. Working on a 10x12 Gable shed and I installed the roof and wall sheathing on the frame but there’s a small gap in between the wall and roof at the top. How should I cover this to keep pests out but still allow some air flow? I also didn’t allow any overhang at the front rafter like I should have. Is there going to be any issue with installing drip edge and shingles like this?
