Water in our oil, or just alot of hot air?

Here in Central Michigan it's not unusual to find the airplane
"dripping" wet with temperature changes.

I have an garage attached to the house. It's not unusual to find the
cars sweating with temperature and humidity changes. I had to work on
the garden tractor today and the engine is wet from the humidity and
temperature changes. (It's been 100% since last night and rained most
of the day.

I feel your pain! g

NC is like that, at times, also.

Want a good piece of advise? Insulate your garage, put up good insulated
garage doors, and with good seals installed. Run one 8" duct into the
garage from your central heat and air. It makes a huge difference at not
all that much expense.

I am currently in Florida. However, I'll keep your solution in mind in case
of a move to a cooler climate.

Thanks for the advice.

I frequently recommend storing airplanes in these warm humid climates in
"Planeports" rather than hangars. You have to keep the sun off to prevent
damage from the UV radiation. Letting the air blow freely through seems to
prevent the dew inside phenomena. In closed hangars I have seen it actually
raining inside the hangar when it was a clear night outside!

Winters are getting a bit warmer, (5 weeks shorter in the last 50
years according to the State of Michigan DNR) and more humidity. That
means we spend more of the year in the 30 to 50 degree range with high
humidity.

It's already insulated with insulated doors, but I need to add the air
duct.

I'm glad you mentioned that as the duct ends within two feet of the
garage wall. All I need is to add a shutter/valve to the duct, cut a
hole through the 2 X 10 and install a register. It'd probably be a
lot better if I carried it up the wall and over to the center of the
garage, but being lazy I'll be lucky to get it into the garage. Great
idea though.

roger site the vent so that it ducts on to the floor and try for
coanda effect to take the blast into the centre area.
I'm sure it can work.
