One of the walls has got very damp internally and I suspect it's

decent weather but at least letting the bricks breathe a bit?

Thanks a lot.

if damp that should let them dry out. It can take months. Be wary of
asking about damp in old properties on here though, its one of the
very few topics youre likely to get bad advice on here. There is a
specialist forum for it he

He's got that arse about face.

That is where the bad advice is.

Not sure that it's bad advice but it assumes you live on another planet,
and are looking for a new hobby, rather than trying to get the job done.
