The first time I went into the house I expected it to be musty and wet. The
previous occupant hadn't been living there for like 6 months at that point. Dad
and I were very surprised to find it dry inside. Same thing this spring, nobody
had lived in the house all winter but it doesn't have any sign of smell.
I think that years of wood heat have probably kept the place pretty dry. A good
tin roof (Amish workmanship) will hopefully keep things that way...

Be careful. I've heard that many old uninsulated constructions were foamed,
and promptly started to rot. Moisture control!!!
