Thanks again gents. I was going to ask what VB everyone likes but sounds like that's a bad idea. I have a commerical dehumidifier coming this week. I will start to figure out where and how to air seal the barn. The garage doors are probably going to the biggest pain.

That will be difficult for the 10x10 and a 18x10 garage doors. I do technically have that with the front room. Ps: thank you

Well, looks like near future will be a big dehumidifier then a mini split later on. After looking a bit more, is there any bad thing about putting in a 10 mil vapor barrier to the main area of the barn and foam board up in the attic (since i can pull back the insulation easily)? My main...

Got a picture of the setup?

I got a gas heater in the corner. It keeps the barn pretty warm in the winter. I keep the barn at a min of 50 when I'm not in there.

I already have a heater in there. I'm looking for cooling/dehumidifying.

AC it is... anyone have any recommendations? I am not sure if a mini split would suffice. Just the quick google search suggests that a 5 ton unit is what I would need. Favorite (or hated) brands?

2400 sq ft. Outside of a couple windows and 2 garage doors, the soffit goes above the panel ceiling and to the attic area. What kind of dehumidifier to you use? Should I consider an exhaust fan/vent or something like that? Considering it

I'm in NE Indiana (in the middle of this heatwave) and my barn has not handled humidity very well. The floor condenses like crazy. After fixing a separate issue this past month, I noticed the barn doesn't have a vapor barrier or even a tyvek house wrap. It's literally exterior metal then...

As of now, I'm fixing just this section of the barn and not putting the water lines back. Just got done removing the sink. From what I can tell, yes, the other walls are insulated.

Welp... there is no vapor barrier in the walls. Metal exterior, air gap, then frame with some insulation in between the posts. I know there is a vapor barrier at least in the ceiling because I can see in the attic. As of right now, I wont be fixing it right this second as it is 10 deg...

I will be removing the pipes. It will just be a workbench and the wall. It's actually not bad but I'm all for making it better. I'll get better pics once I get the counter top and sink out this weekend

That's the plan, PCustoms

It's the basic sheet metal. Not really sure how to tell the difference. Any particular thickness of foam is minimum recommendation?

The sink wall is the exterior wall. Pink insulation is the wall against the bathroom. I will be removing the sink and the pex line going to it. I'm looking to redo the insulation.
