You got humidity in the garage? I run a humidifier in the summer. It helps.
When the car got booted from the basement it went to the attached garage....to live with the bikes and mower and scooters and a door thats only closed at night....so completely un controlled climate. Not helpful.
My fear is that the new shop will be seen as garage 2 so I've started to begin the conversations about tools, equipment, and my car get ruined when left in an uncontrolled space. Its ok to keep the mower in the shopp but but door is opened to take it out or put it away, not while iyou're mowing and until you're done. We'll see how that goes.....
I'll have to say I never thought about a dehumidifier for the shop.....that's not a bad idea. Again it only works if the door is closed but hopefully that won't be an issue going forward. The electric heaters are running full time now so temp is stable and the air is dry but come summer I'm not sure where the HVAC system install will be...its $3k just to buy the stuff and there is a long list of thinks waiting for money at the moment so I my end up with a window AC unti to get though the summer.
As much as I wanted to get going on pulling the engine I was just too tired last night....I got to bed pretty late Sunday so I just didn't make it to the shop last night and tonight I think I have a soccer thing so not sure. My current goal is to have the engine out and head off this weekend so I can see where else money is needed....gettng a piston is probably 8-16 weeks this time of year so I need to get it ordered is as I suspect I need 1.
