    Wrong forum Damp Meter

    Where can I buy one? Just want a simple one to check if there is dampness in a bedroom - funny musty smell in it & I've driven myself crazy cleaning & it's not from clothes or anything else obvious, so think it may be from under a floorboard or something.

    I just wondered if anyone had any advice regarding an old range in my mother-in-laws house. Some in the family think it should just be ripped out & a modern stove (not with oven) put in, but as the stove is at least 60 years old I think it might be better to try & get it serviced - oven needs a...
