I know. There was a flue partially installed, the hood was set to vent outside but there was 4 inches of flue missing.
The "house" is a dormer bungalow (late 70s vintage, I think) and I think things went awry when the dormer was installed. Although there is a strange bump in the floor too - like they had carpeted over a hamster. It's one of the coldest places I have ever lived in - maybe it was built over a cemetary?
The seller was proud of the garage (prefab concrete!) but when closed the door from the inside you could see sky. Dad admitted later (after Mum had passed) it was a mistake buying it - you can guess whose idea it was.
I have a dehumidifier but won't use it until I've had someone take a look at the damp patch.
The house electrics have been added to the "to do" list. Dad lived here for 18 years, it can wait a few more months. I'll stop showering with the toaster for now.
