How Do I I Keep Dampness Out The House?

My son has allergies due to mites, which are more predominant in damp environments. We live in the Mediterranean (our house is Sea front so we have a lot of humidity) and his doctor told us to keep the heater on (low) throughout the night to help keep the walls warm and take the humidity down. The heater should just be warm enough to warm the walls but not hot enough to feel a huge difference from the outside temperature to the inside temperature.

We also bought a de-humidifier for his room and ours (very cheap -21 Tunisian Dinars which equals out to 8.24 GBP, 12.23 EURO, or 16.20 US Dollars) and they have been VERY effective! Ours are automatic and do not need electricity. They run off a refillable charger that you change every three months.

You wouldn't believe the amount of water that the de-humidifiers pull! You are also supposed to open all the windows in the house for a minimum of 15 minutes a day to let the air circulate throught the house and let freshen the air inside the ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
