You can use bottled distilled from the market/WalMart/Target, BUT you must check it's TDS with a meter like this, which should be 0, AND check it for copper with a test kit, as some older distilleries may still have copper pipes (but not likely IME). Whether you need an RO or RODI unit to make your own water is based on your tap water TDS. If it's higher, a RODI is recommended to get your water to 0 TDS rather than just a RO unit. I'd suggest getting a TDS meter before anything else and seeing what's up with your tap water.
Just print up a sign that says "This is an electric car, the air conditioning is currently on even though there is no engine running. The interior temperature is being monitored remotely to ensure that the dogs/kids inside are safe and comfortable." and stick it on each window. Maybe also stick on one of these for good measure: https://www.amazon.com/7-Inch-Suction-Window-Thermometer-TX1011/dp/B000HU6C46
Wow, well I have a whole wishlist for art I don't know if I could choose one... I'm sorry!
or This for science!
It's too quiet in here!
I can't help you with your current situation, but generally once you have mould you'll always have it, as there are always mould spores floating about. They like high humidity and warmth which is abundant in Edinburgh flats. Cheap quality chests of drawers and wardrobes are usually the culprit too as they haven't been treated with anti-mould paint\spray.
If you can afford it, or any landlords are reading this you should provide the flat with a good quality dehumdifier, one that has a laundry setting. I have a nice little 10l one and I take it with me from flat to flat.
Get a good quality digital hygrometer and thermometer that has a min\max setting, like this one.
I also make a mould check part of my daily cleaning routine

I have one of these and so far lasted a couple years... Never used the compass, knock on wood, but the thermometer seems accurate.

Change the lid thermometer to a Tel Tru one.

You want to minimize the amount of time that the fireplace is operating at too cool a temperature, because when hot flue gasses cool down on the way up the chimney, they form creosote. And that's what causes chimney fires. Get it burning hot quickly, keep it burning hot, and do not let it smolder.
How do you know if it's hot enough or too hot? Ideally, you want to measure the flue gasses directly.

Since you already have a relationship with a chimney sweep and he or she knows your setup, I'd call them back over and see what they say.
As for wood, you want "seasoned" (read: dry) wood. Not too dry, though. If it's been cut and split and stacked for a year or two, it'll likely have the correct moisture content. You do not want to burn anything but real firewood in there. No construction lumber (new or used).
If you're really curious, you can get a moisture meter. To get an accurate reading you'd bring in a piece of firewood in and let it warm up to room temp, split it, and then take a reading from the freshly split surface. I can recommend the Lignomat E/D or S/D. I've been using an S/D for a long time and it's been great. Support from the company has also been good. (replacement pins)

Hardwood vs. softwood. Hardwoods are generally more dense than soft, so you get more BTUs from hardwood than softwood when you're comparing equal volumes. Softwood tends to burn fast and hot. That's fine if you're there to tend the fire. If you want to leave it be for an hour or two or four, hard woods will work better. Do softwoods contribute to more creosote buildup? Not if you're operating the stove correctly. Properly dried softwood will burn just fine and with no more creosote than hardwood. But it you're burning wet cedar (and it'll burn when it's wet because it has high resin content) then you'll end up with a cool fire, low flue temperatures, and a lot of creosote buildup. You're less likely to burn wet hardwood because it just doesn't burn well. So again, it's the operator error and not the wood that causes problems when burning softwoods. If I were buying firewood I'd get exclusively hardwood. If I were scavenging or harvesting, I'd burn whatever I could get, with a strong preference toward hardwood. (But cottonwood and box elder I just leave for someone else.)
I think it was a Coghlan or Coleman, like this, but I probably got it at Walmart.

I got myself one of these. I keep the remote near my fermenting beer/wine etc and the display in my kitchen. That way I can see what room temperature is and what my wine room temperature is all from the kitchen. No need to go downstairs.

This doesn't control anything, just a thermometer FYI
Currently I'm looking at this one Is it overkill?
A floating thermometer should get the job done.
A couple of simple mods but I like how it changed the look/feel of the grill. Going to stain the new handle and damper handle to match the wood table as well. Hope this inspires some of ya!
