I have a 20x22 concrete block garage here in southern Ontario and I have humidity problems. It's so humid here today that my floor is slick with moisture. I have a ceiling fan that runs whenever the lights are on and a box fan I run when I'm working. I also have a window AC unit I could install but i don't know if that would help and I prefer to work with the door open anyway.
Any suggestions?

Check out the Tjernlund AirXchange. It has two small fans controlled by a built in humidistat. You can set it up with both blowing out, both in or one in and one out.

An air conditioner system can be used to remove humidity.

Sounds like your cold floor/walls are condensating when the very humid air hits them this time of year here.

ehhh, you prefer to work with the door open because it is horrible in there.
Have I got that about right?
Put some air in there and you won't miss that open door. If so put in a window, insulated of course. :beer:

Is it warm in the garage? If it is cool, buy a dehumidifier and keep the garage as sealed as possible. I had horrible problems last year, but after insulating and sealing, a simple 60 pint keeps by 24x55 dry and cool.

If you garage is too warm and in need of cooling, opt for an air conditioner to perform both cooling and dehumidification.
