That is a good idea, thanks. While I am confident that is where the problem is, this is a easy way to confirm it. I don't know what else could be causing it.

I do need to work in this area, I have tractors and some equipment parked there and also tools and supplies are in this area The building was put up over 2 yrs ago and half of the concrete right at 2 yrs ago I have a window cracked and have tried to keep it cooler, not a big difference. I am...

I posted this in the general forum and thought maybe someone here could help me out in more detail trying a HRV system........Looking for recommendations on brand, sizing, where to install, and how they are controlled. I have a 45' x 64' pole building with 18' ceiling. The walls are sprayed...

It is a farm shop and I hate cracks in concrete. It has rebar and fiber mesh, and so far (cross my fingers) no cracks.

That is what I was thinking, I wish there was an economical way to seal off the moisture below the rock.

Could someone explain this HRV system? I have considered putting a small exhaust fan close to the ceiling that could be used to vent exhaust fumes, welding smoke, dust etc. I hate to vent out my heat but think that may help some.

I also have two ceiling fans running all the time. I have used a temp gun and the temp varies very little from the floor to the ceiling.

Yes, I have gutters and down spouts all the way around.

I do need to walk in the area and drive on it. I have thought about putting down heavy plastic or even tarp and covering with limestone rock. I am heating with electric boiler floor heat. I got the reading off of a cheap humidistat (?). It is very humid as I can tell papers and cardboard are...

I have a 45' x 64' pole building with 18' ceiling. The walls are sprayed with closed cell foam and the ceiling has blown in fiberglass insulation. I only have one end (45x32) of the floor poured. I have plastic down, then 2" of styro foam insulation with pex tubing under the 6" thick slab. The...

I am talking to Hydro-Smart directly but yes, I think they also sell the same system at Menards. For the price difference I think this is the best way to go for me. I can easily install myself and save a pretty good chunk of cash.

If I am understanding them correctly Hydro-Shark is the company assembling the panel which consists of the expansion tank, pumps, relief valve, air eliminator,etc. They are purchasing the boilers from stiebel eltron. A local plumber quoted me a system the same size as the one I'm looking at...

My thoughts exactly. I have a extremely tight building since I used the closed cell spray foam and don't feel like cutting holes to bring in gas and take out exhaust. Don't need to purchase another propane tank, etc

I am in western Iowa, no natural gas. I do have my own deep well. My normal electric charge is .08/kw but for heat in the house, water heaters, heat pumps we can get that for .04/kw. so I really think electric is the way to go for me.
