The problem is the 50 degree swings we have in a day! Drops form 84 to 29 low the next day, than back up like a week ago. So you get 40 degrees in the shop and a 70 degree 75% humidity blow in the next day and it looks like it rained inside. The tractor rear tires are filled with water to act as ballast for the front end loader. There is so much condensation on them it looks like someone threw a 5 gallon bucket on the tire and shop floor! When you are under a car changing oil and water is dripping on your face from condensation all chassis parts are getting surface rust, aluminuim heads and intakes are getting white flay stuff when they are inside I needed to address it.

The shop is well insulated which I think almost makes it worse as things stay cold and no gradual warming, open the shop door and instant inside rain. Plan for using the heat is to maybe keep it at 50-60 so it is not so cold for condensation.
