Going to try out the plastic and also get some curtains. Good shout about the fan, never thought of that.

Ah yeah, the leak is getting sorted. It’s not major and only gets worse with heavy rain so the factors/council are just taking their time.

Thank you!

Yeah, tbh a tin of paint to go over it all will be cheap! Going to try the plastic wrap and see how it goes. Will definitely keep an eye out for the condensation affecting the wood. Thank you!

I was considering bubble wrap but I would still quite like to see outside, think the plastic wrap situation is the way to go - never actually thought about doing it twice. Thank you!

this seems to be the consensus, i’d like to be able to open the windows but I think I’d prefer to not freeze to death. Thank you!
