    Fitting Carbon brushes to washing machine position..

    Condensation on inside of windows.

    I had terrible problems with condensation - fitted a new extractor fan and now regulary open windows in the morning even on cold days and it has solved the problem. It is easier to hear up cold dry air than moist!

    So I am correct in thinking this looks like condensation issues and not that my roof is about to cave in ? I think it has got worse over the last few weeks but guess what, I have been using a steamer every night to strip wood chip from the walls so I guess that has not helped. I have...
