Coastal areas are also problematic. Our beach cabin is a poorly-insulated but otherwise sealed house, and not all that close to the water. maybe half a mile away. It has a shed, which has open rafters for ventilation. Everything metal in the shed gets rusty, rusty, rusty. In the cabin, not. The humidity will be the same, but salt spray in the air can migrate in past the rafter ends and settle out on things, provoking truly cancerous surface rust. The ventilation that is good for shingle life is bad for everything else, because there is no ceiling in the shed. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
