Cold nights and moist air causes “rain” inside our shed each morning at this time of year. And boy have there been some cold mornings. There have been about 5 mornings that have gone down to freezing. There’s no problem when the cold westerlies blow. It is the calm. still nights that are the worst, when the condensation drips are so constant that everything is completely soaked.
In order to keep the timber dry until it can be coated with epoxy, we have been struggling with rolls of builders plastic overnight. Each evening, we roll out the plastic in strips, and in the morning they are rolled up onto lengths of conduit.
Now that the turret roof is complete, it is easy to cover it with these rolls of plastic and make sure that the water is shed off the boat, rather than pooling on top. This set of photos show the plastic being rolled out and secured.
