How to Heat and Dry a Damp Winter Country House: The Most Economical Way
During the winter, a lot changes in a country house. Wallpaper may peel off, plaster or whitewash may fall off the ceiling.
Cracks appear somewhere, furniture starts to creak somewhere – dampness is to blame for everything, and something needs to be done about it quickly. Here’s how experienced summer residents deal with this problem.
You can do without energy-intensive heat guns and not even turn on the heater.
As a rule, in early spring, gardeners tidy up the land and burn the remains of vegetation, branches cut and sawn off in the garden, etc. in fires.
To avoid wasting such a large amount of heat, you need to put several red bricks in the fire and leave a few more in reserve.
As soon as the bricks are heated in the fire, they are brought into the house and left in the dampest corners. When they cool down, they are replaced with new ones.
This can be repeated as long as there is something to burn on the street.
When cooling, the brick will give off heat and also absorb moisture. That is why ordinary red brick is used.
If you use traditional heat sources together with this method, you will be able to achieve a comfortable temperature in your home much faster.
