Hhhhmmmm.
So I think I've learned:
* There are two types - one works best at high temperatures, the other at low temperatures
* If you're trying to dry out an inherently damp space / poorly sealed space, you're just wasting money
* Removing moisture is good for long term preservation
* Investigate a until that will drain moisture externally rather than fill a reservoir
To make this work, I think I need to:
* Look at desiccant type dehumidifiers - assuming winter / cold conditions are the challenge here
* Sort out some permanent plumbing to extract externally
* Make sure that when the garage floor tiling is finished, the door seals adequately
* Be prepared to vacate the man-cave during winter; which will be tough when Strictly dominates weekend tele and I need somewhere to escape to
* Maybe not have the unit on 'permanently', but more so during shite weather and after driving in wet conditions
I think I may press ahead with a dehumidifier. If costs get too high, I can hang my undercrackers in the garage and veto the boss's tumble dryer.
It's been a while since I've run starkers down the stairs to answer the door to the postman...
Is it just me that's excited by this idea?
