Hi folks. Glad I found this forum!
I recently inherited a small cabin in Pennsylvania.
The interior of the cabin is finished with 1x6 pine boards.
There are small gaps here and there.
Within the walls is Kraft faced fiberglass insulation.
The cabin will only be occasionally heated with a small space heater in the winter.
My question is if this will pose any kind of moisture or mold problems down the road? To redo the walls and insulation would be a big project, so I'm hoping the current setup is fine.
Thanks!

The cabin itself is fairly new, just about 3 years old. The space heater won't be anything special, probably a small electric one at 1500 watts or so.

I guess my only concern is the gaps in the wall, and the potential for moisture build-up. Most of the time the cabin will not be heated or cooled, and PA weather can be damp and reach heat/cold extremes. Thanks for any input.
