Default HELP & ADVICE: new home

Thanks everyone for giving me help, suggestions and advice. I now
learnt about Mildew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildew) and follow
(http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/housing/356-643/356-643.html).

My bathroom is tiny and has no windows and a tiny crappy extractor fan
that doesn't seem to do anything.

I will try and look for a good dehumidifier or/and normal fan to dry
the bathroom and lower the moisture. I already take off my shower doors
after a shower to let the insides dry.

Get up in the attic, and see if they bothered to put an exhaust pipe on the
fan. In this place, it was just blowing the insulation around. As a temp
measure until new roof and exhaust port go on this summer, I put a hose on
it hung near an existing vent hole. Made a big difference in how well the
exhaust fam sucked.
