what splendid idea mate thankskr0ne wrote:Another option is those packs full of silica gel or some such. You leave em out and they soak up moisture from the air then turn blue like an Always advert when they are full. Once done, you bake em in the oven on a low heat to dry them out and use em again.

Re: New Shack Problem
Why not get one of those £10 dehumidifiers? I have one for my kitchen and it works a treat, yes u have to replace the inner now and again but I think a bit cheaper than electric.

Re: New Shack Problem
I had a dehumidifier in my conservatory. It uses quite a lot of leccy, so a very low heater tube (100w?) may be just as energy conscious.

Re: New Shack Problem
My shack is in a single skinned out house too. Very cold in here but after being in here for a good few years the cold has done no damage at all to my equipment. I just use a few of those Poundland dehumidifiers and they do the job nicely.
