"One more thing I have to post here: Good isulation gets you into another serious problem: If a house is naturally dump (dumpness coming from the ground up) a good isulation will definetely cause you enourmous MOULD FORMATION. To such an extend, that you will have to air and ventilate the rooms in cold winter (or use a de-humidifier) - or it will ruin your health!!!"
Looks like someone has let harry out again..
The article is worth reading if only for the following helpful sentence
"If you do not have cavity walls, it is likely you have solid walls instead."
Or you're living in a cardboard box.

On first reading this appears as if it may have been written by you. On second reading, even more so. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
Or a yurt. Although I think yurts do sometimes have cavity walls.
Cardboard box? Luxury!
# Do I want a yurt, oh how I do... ...nurt #

Looks like my typing on a bad day. Maybe it was dictated to an I phone?

My very old house certainly does not have cavity walls, but I wouldn't call them solid, either. More 'odd random timbers, with occasional lath or loose brick infill'. On second thoughts, they might be 'cavity', but not the kind usually meant by the term.
I built a deck for a bloke once - just so he could put a Yurt on it.

Gapity wall :-?
Maybe...
I think the technical term is S*it and Stick. Or it might be Wattle and Daub.
