Does it take time for a house to dry out?

100L of water is a lot! The newly plastered walls and ceilings are drying (albeit a bit slowly) so I suppose that is a good sign. We are looking to see if we can buy a dehumidifier. May be well worth the money.
I have to add, we did have condensation before the plastering was done. It is just a lot more now that it is done. Windows can be open all day and still be wet if I don't dry them off.
And for anyone else reading this in the future, make sure you don't dry the windows using a towel then put it on the radiator to dry! I use a J-cloth and wring it out into a bucket then pour it down the sink.

We've just had our downstairs replastered and the humidity lasted weeks, and that's with a dehumidifier running. For the first few days it was above 80%.

I wouldn't be overly concerned, but I do think you should get a dehumidifier. It'll come in useful for drying washing even after the plaster dries.
