WET GARAGE
This topic was discussed a week or so ago and mine was as wet as a bugger on Friday. I lifted a few things off the floor to check its not rising and
it was nice and dry. I am not going to let my pride and joy go to ruin and I am not bothering to lay carpet or anthing else to soak it up as it will
not get rid of it so I have just ( WON !!! ) a dehumidifier on ebay. It can remove up to 20 litres a dayat the right temp. I know these things work
as I had experience of them when I worked on sites many moons ago.

We had one in my last house as it was 1921 built and the only economical way of keeping the dampness down was to buy and use a dehumidifier.
Beware the electric bills though!

Dehumidifier
My daughter used one of these in her London flat (ground floor, early 20th C building).
She collected 10 litres per day! Mainly because there was very little ventilation.
Thank God they've moved.
PS: Gotta get up to my lock-up, and check out conditions there. Used to be dry, even thru the winter, not so sure after all this rain.

Make sure your garage door is sealed a bit otherwise you will be dehumidifying the outside air

I thnk I am right in saying that the water they produce is quite pure so is better than using tap water in your radiator.
maybe you could sell it? Peckham Spring Water springs to mind

I've been getting a lot of condensation settling on stuff in my garage, including my machine tools 
Noticed a hint of rust on some of them, so had to go round with anti-rust spray yesterday. This stuff works very well, but you don't want to be
spraying anywhere near something you want to paint later - I think it's full of silicone, which is a PITA to remove prior to spraying.
