Condensation
mike the bike:
A bonus with a dehumidifier is the condensate is ideal for steam irons, lead acid batteries, house plants etc, as it's free from calcium, magnesium and chlorine.
royhall:
Dehumidifier for me as well. If I forget to put it back on when I lock up, the following morning all the chromework is wet through with condensation. Again it is a dry garage, except for the humidity.
Laverda Dave:
Great tip there Mike. I'll bottle some of the water for the iron that continually clogs up and spits out limescale all over a clean white shirt whenever I use it (not often enough so I'm told......)!
MrDavo:
I shared a terraced house in Salford once. My housemate complained bitterly that I was treating the kitchen as a garage (i was building a 650cc BSA chopper in there, there was no garage). I complained bitterly that the condensation from all his stupid cooking, washing and ironing was making my bike parts go rusty.
I think I won that one - when I moved in he was a law abiding pedestrian, with no interest in motorbikes, by the time I moved out he was rebuilding his own BSA twin engine on the front room carpet !! (luckily the carpet was stain coloured).
Tomb:
My garage is on the side of my house and originally had a tin roof, when conditions were right (wrong) it would literally rain inside from the condensate on the inside of the roof. I built bedrooms on top later which cured the garage problem, its always 10oC minimum and dry now, I can put bikes away wet and in the morning they've dried.
