Rant Alert !

We have a little countryside cottage and in the good old Scottish winters if heating is not left on (frost setting on electric radiators) it’s amazing how quickly the damp takes over. It’s an old stone building. As I said I understand leaving a bit of heating on but 20 degrees is a bit much.

I think it's the 20 degrees more than having the heating. My neighbour used to turn theirs off completely when going on hols over the winter - it cause quite some damage - twice - through frozen burst pipes!

I live in an old stone house and not up North  if we don't have the heating we would get damp issues - no footings here, straight onto the ground, when it rains we have to have the fires going to dry out the stone or the water will come through  but 20?! That's a just too high for an empty house.
