If that is so, I wish you a very pleasant day!

Thank you for that insight

Help me on that. What it entails evades me.

I understand it as being obnoxious, rude and overbearing.

I understand. Thank you.

Can I butt in for a moment and actively ask what makes a male character more relatable?

I’m currently in the process of writing my first novel and that was something I never gave a thought about.

That is one good story.

from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it

Yes, I understand that; there is a learning curve. For some, too steep.

The short answer is yes. But the interesting part - and I’m talking from personal experience - is that from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it.

And it does not mean you are going to turn into a full on expert or geek, tinkering around the console. You just learn a few simple commands that enable you to do something (or somethings) quicker, easier and cleaner than going through a GUI.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No.

I intend to relax as best as possible, in order to prepare for a monday morning clash that can decide my immediate employment.

Maybe potter a bit around the house, do some cooking and spend some time with my family.

Taking some available space away is a given.

Many places have a long experience in dealing with cold, which my country lacks, hence I’m asking here for advice. The default solution was either endure it or burn more wood.

I may be able to shave off one or two centimeters of the total volume required as the walls are currently covered with a very thick layer of cement that was set with no concern to prior levelling the stone (in places where the mortars started to fail I chipped away to clear the loose material and there are spots where 2 to 3cm of cement could be saved just by grinding away an edge of a stone) but going by the solutions my market has available, I risk needing to layer up to 10cm of material on my walls.

I do intend to insulate floor and ceillings as they will be, for all practical purposes, rebuilt, as the current wood floors are thin.

The house is squeezed between a pedestrian street, where I can’t encroach, as there is little room already, and another house. I do have one wall I intend to insulate from the outside as it faces an empty plot.

Mineral wool I have been looking into it but I was warned it wicks moisture. Is this true?

Fully agree.

If this kind of institution starts to be ignored, with no consequences, then it no longer serves a purpose.

Go for the medieval look.

That was the kind of thought I was looking for.

None is an option.

I’ve seen that material, I think.

Does it look essentially like a piece of drywall lined with styrofoam?

I understand that concern and I intend to improve the thermal efficiency of the house but not at the cost of turning bedrooms into pantries.

The house is really old and there are rooms under 10 square meters; a standard couples bed (140x200cm) will not fit there and even a single bed will make the room feel cramped.

The cork I’ve been able to find specifically warns against painting it or covering it in any fashion. I could go for an accent wall on it but it is not a material easy to match and the texture is just off.

I may use cork liner on the floor before setting down wood pavement (I intend to reuse every piece of wood I can manage to salvage) but not on the walls.

And yes, styrofoam is horrendously fragile. At some point you may have to consider replacing parts of it, which apparently is very easy, but just putting up such a fragile material doesn’t make sense for me.

Stone. No gaps I can take advantage of.

Aliens took them, obviously. What else? What other logical, rational, simple explanation could there be?

Thank you.

But… Why do you assume I have instant knowledge of acronyms because I opted to insert a comment on a topic that teased my interest? Does it pressuposes anything about my person?

Then what is the choice?
