I live in Ireland. I'll probably have my heating on during the colder nights, and I'll check the roof for leaks once per week or so.
I am curious, why do you need to check for leaks so often?
We often gave high winds and rain. Last month, a wind storm damaged loads of roofs in my neighbouhood, and some people only noticed after the leaks started.
In addition, construction in Ireland is notoriously bad, and one of the first things we did was to fly over a family member who has decades of roofing experience, and he fixed potential leaks. Just as well, as we have neighbours who already had to change some of their timber supports that started rotting. We are still pretty paranoid about the roof quality, though.
Ah that makes sense. Being from Florida, I can relate somewhat with the wind and rain. I didnt know about Irish construction though.
Thanks for the reply!
