Flue: to fill or not to fill

[Nige F]

I will gently point out that you have no idea whatsoever about what I am or am not concerned about - I would respectfully suggest that you have literally no experience of the inner workings of my mind.
My suggestion would be to consider apologising for your insult, and be disciplined in future in avoiding straying into areas which are irrelevant to the post, and which are also outside of your knowledge and experience

excellent reply, and well worded. The problem is ree has proven over years here with different user names, that he not only knows everything about building , and sadly cannot hold his ire against many posters , whom he refers to as # x . " I am not a #, I am a free man "

Edit:
but it seems that it took another seventy years or so before cavity walls were introduced into working class homes - that was after millions of them had already been built without cavity walls, & so mostly poor people suffered the TB consequences.

Tuberculosis ?

Just to put this to bed...

You presumably dont have cavity walls but FWIW never go installing any ventilation such as air bricks to vent any cavity walls - thats a big no no.

The builder's of this house in 1902 obviously hadn't listened to Ree....
