Sheds tend not to be. If its an issue several sheets       styrofoam, and a spray can or 3 of 3M 77 spray adhesive should fix it       for the most part.              Humidity is pretty low here most of the year, but we do sometimes get       morning dew. I'll keep an eye on it.              Bob La Londe       -------------------------------       I have a tarp attached to the lower side of one corrugated roof's PT wood       purlins that helps, as does plastic over the stored equipment. The       condensing condition we have but maybe you don't is warm humid air after a       cold spell, as in 20F to 50F in a few hours. Dew doesn't seem an issue, it       doesn't form on covered surfaces that don't cool by radiating heat to into       space. It didn't condense on my unpainted sawmill when the grass outside the       canopy was wet.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
