Home Depot sells little buckets of something that absorbs moisture, my buddy uses like three of them in his garage.

That and a good vapor barrier might help. I used a nice Burlap type material, Urathane coated and Water Resistant over my insulation and it seems to have cleared the moiture problems up......

Also check out boat stores. We have dehumidifiers in the boats which are on the lifts at the dock all winter. They run on 110V electric and have little fans. Every few weeks you pour the water out of the catch basin. Works great! The key is circulation. :yesnod:

Those work OK, in small areas, but when your talking about some serious humidity, they won't pull it all into that little bucket... We have a 40' mobile home that we use to travel in the summer, and when I winterize it I always use about 4 of those Damp Rid containers and they are FULL within a month....

I've been using Sta-Dri for the past 5 or 6 years and that's worked well for me. I got them from Mid-America (Part# 100-840). They're kind of pricey though... 4 - 2LB bags for $30. I dry them out each year in an oven before putting them in the Vette so if you factor in that they are reusable maybe the price isn't so bad.
