Aha. And those of us who didn't know the old saying AND the reason for it get to learn the hard way. Good to know that the oldtimers still knew things that we don't--yet anyway ...................

Then it can dry slowly before the summer heat sets in, and then dry though and through during the summer. This might also be the reason for our problems as the house was lime painted in november. Anyway, clay walls are always vulnerable in a cold and wet climate, and should be protected by the roof, which should stick out at least 75 cm over the wall
