My mother has kindly invited me to move my workshop out of my kitchen and into her double garage, but it's a little bit damp in there.
It's not so damp that mould is forming anywhere, and apart from around the big plastic doors, the breeze blocks are all bone dry... but it is damp enough to delaminate carboard after a couple of years, and my Dad's hand saws always went rusty after a year or two in there.
It's uninsulated, open rafters, concrete floor, no plumbing or heating.
Question is, does such low level damp need dealing with?
...and if so, How?
I guess the options would be heat, a dehumidifier, insultation or a combination of.
Or alternatively, just keep all my tools out of the open (boxed) when I don't have a project on the go.
