I hear people talking about over-insulation these days, houses that are so insulated that moisture can't escape and it's leading to all sorts of new damp problems. Fun times ahead!

I find that to be both true and amazing.
Why no insulation before? Was it in other countries?

yep - having lived in multiple cold shitholes over the years I can relate.
Ireland as a whole pretty much only discovered the concept of insulation sometime in the late 90s
I put it down to work ethic and catholic guilt, if you're cold, you deserve to be cold!
The damp pervasive coldness of Ireland is shocking though, you don't realise how awful it is until you go somewhere else.
Tell you one thing that unites them all – BOGGERSThat's a good point.
Waterford, West Cork, here on the Dingle Peninsula, they're all a strange mix of rich west-brits, rich actual brits, hippies of all sorts and lots of still fairly poor Irish farming families.

Buy a dehumidifier
Post.
Seriously though, do.
Use the water for the plants then.
Merely organize the world in such a way that you don't. Simples.We need a "home insulation" thread
fucks sake
I got that in the shed here where I'm the only person that goes in there. Damp finds a way.my only regular encounter with a dehumidifier was the one in fred lane (rehersal studio/damp basement entrance to hell). god knows what that condensate contained.
I remember one summer it stopped working, and mould started growing on me fretboard..
I have important information to contribute here! I insulated the full depth of my floor joists and got dry rot. Had to take it all out, replace parts of the joists.. big work. The wood needs exposed surface area to breathe so you should only ever insulate two-thirds of the depth. If you have 150mm joists you should only have 100mm insulation.We need a "home insulation" thread
