    Cold damp wood bought in to house

    Blade to cut nails

    Fox I have the pallet breaker and that was brilliant for getting the slats that weren't nailed in to the blocks in the corner on the centre slats. I've broken too many trying to use that I gave up. I have various wrecking bars but nothing is quick.

    Damp on bedroom ceiling.

    Thanks. The loft has insulation and I know there is ventilation as when I been on the ladder at the hatch I can see outside. As for condensation I tend to leave 2 windows open in day for good 5 hours. The windows have no air vents

    Damp on bedroom ceiling.

    My partner in her wisdom just decided to paint the bedroom a year ago in her hope of making it look good. I don't think there was damp then but she never took the peeling paint off either

    Damp on bedroom ceiling.

    Thanks ken . We bought the house 2 years ago and I don't think there was any mention in the report. I doubt what the council did has anything to do with it. Also no idea how old the felt is. I'll post pics Tomo if it's light enough when I get in.
