I've noticed that a lot of my timber in the workshop (a single car size, single skin brick garage, only the ceiling and metal door are insulated) has gotten mouldy. Mainly the MDF and plywood. So some of my jigs, french cleat tool wall and timber supply. I know it's the humidity that's the problem as I can feel paper stored n there is no longer crisp. Also a light sawdust over everything probably doesn't help.
I have 2 sources of damp : wet bicycles stored back in there, but mostly penetrating damp that I've tried to rectify with a tanking slurry, but it's just bust through that. I really need to remedy from outside (in neighbours garden) but haven't the time or funds to sort that out yet.
I had kept a small heater in there for when we get in the single digit temperatures, but for the past few days that's been commandeered for the house whilst waiting on a plumber to fix the boiler.
I am disappointed, but my tools are ok, machines are waxed and hand tools kept in cabinets.
I have 2 questions:
Can I save any timber somehow, or is it best to get rid?
Any advice on getting a dehumidifier?
