Jeez, people, do you want mold? Cause this all above and below is how you get mold. Keep your outer walls above the dew point.

Throw a few more logs into the stove and keep the doors ajar if electricity or oil or whatever is too expensive, but don't just let your houses cool down like that.

Moisture causes mold, and it also prefers warmth over cold.

When the walls drop beneath the dew point that's when you get moisture.
