# I have indeed
I have crap internet, no heating, non-vertical walls and an outside toilet. And nobody can find the house. But I'm still not moving back to Slough.

# I moved down here 4 years ago
you'll need a dehumidifier or 10 - as a bonus I have discovered they are an excellent way of keeping your doughnuts fresh :)

It's not too damp atm, but we are trying to work out the best way to heat the place, being off-grid and that. At the moment we're just using friction.

We have one, so will use it when it gets proper cold. CH is oil but it doesn't work, and the boiler is the size of the Death Star, so we were thinking about solar. Pricey.

# Sorry to interject
But have you considered a paraffin lamp? My folks have one as they live in the middle of nowhere and it will light/warm a room up nicely without having to heat the whole house and paraffin is relatively cheap.
