Hello boaters, Recently bought a 1930 admiralty ammunition barge, the stench of mould and damp were there. Had a hull survey done but not an interior survey. Not to worried about the interior as it was destined to be stripped out. When converted 20 years ago and clearly done by a bodger on a budget. When stripping out the interior every wood board, every wood support, every sheet of celotex and all if the loft insulation jammed into every corner......was damp and mouldy Pictures attached hopefully show the extent of the hull damage caused by the rot to the interior. I only post these in the hope that it helps the inexperienced make better decisions when it comes to insulating their boats. The steel has been sweating behind the celotex, dripping water into the bilge constantly, most of the paint has separated and peeled off as the steel was not prepped properly and the paint was cheap and not fit for purpose. Although all of the damage to the steel is on the surface and can be repaired/welded etc the rest of the interior has to be stripped and replaced..........After the hull gets blasted/painted and most importantly SPRAYFOAM INSULATED. So my advice is don't be cheap, do it properly.

I'm getting condensation directly where my mattress is against the wall. Below I have slats and a space below where I store clothes in a couple of suitcases and the area has a 12w cupboard heater in it and the wall is fine. Solutions I have thought of are: drilling some holes into the wall panel where the mattress and wall meet to allow air to circulate: putting some batons on the wall so that the mattress doesn't touch the wall. Are any of these going to work? Anyone got any suggestions? Many thanks
