Re: Condensation on bedroom walls! 5Jun 19, 2015 1:30 pm One of the things that may help is to make sure that steam generated by cooking and bathroom is exhausted. People too will exhale steam so a dehumidifier may help. Heating will decrease humidity and reverse cycle is the best because it removes moisture from air. Check building for water leaks and effective sub floor ventilation. Blinds or drapes over windows will help. Steamy bedroom activities? Don't have a cure for that.

By stripping the cladding you can install as much insulation as you like but while the walls are stripped you can run cables for any new power and data outlets, gas pipes etc. Plus you can completely update the look of your house by changing the cladding. It is not all lost money. By improving your house you are making it more comfortable plus adding to its capital value. Win-win in my book.
