I'm not sure the heat is as big a problem as the moisture. It takes very little moisture to rust a blued barrel and corrode brass.
It's bolted down and then some. Replacing the doors and already have an alarm system in case of break in.
Add one of those "rechargeable" safe dehumidifiers and I think you'll be set. I use the type that needs to stay plugged in but the rechargeable ones work fine as well.
I've been working on the downstairs getting everything sorted, this is the small project side. A little more work and it will be ready for the put the new saws on the bench!
It really doesn't look like it will get anywhere but that is the way with any project. You just have to get through the disaster look first.
What you don't see is the giant area of clean in the middle of the floor. It really is much closer to clean than it looks.
Oh good that is encouraging then. when you finish there, I have a 12 X 12 ft. sewing room that needs some attention just to get into it.
That's how this was. It took longer to get a decent place to stand than it has to open up the floor. Lots of stuff went to the burn pile, but to be fair most of it was the old loft floor and a bunch of dilapidated window screen.
I framed in a reclaimed steel door yesterday. The garage isn't exactly square, so I will have a time when I go to cover it. The door itself was previously broken so I have been doing body work on it to restore it to it's prior glory. If the weather holds out I should have the heavily damaged side finished up tomorrow-- a coat of primer today revealed a few more spots that could use some spot and glaze.
WW, any insight? I have a drafting stool for my desk chair and the seat padding went flat and I frayed/ripped the one side I get on and off of it after several years, I'm in and out of that chair all day every day long.... I was going to get utility foam and a vinyl remnant, but I forgot where I live and none exist in this town so I need to buy on the internet. As well as I don't see the utility foam (the stuff that used to yellow anywhere). I was looking at these, the prices seem outrageous, what would you use for the padding? 2" or 3" ? (and this size I can redo our 1950 restaurant stools (I put a new pillow sham on them when needed, but they could use new padding too). https://www.homedepot.com/p/FUTURE-FOAM-2-in-Thick-Multi-Purpose-Foam-10030BULK2/203837080 and this (black is out of stock but the other black I found else where was 3x $$ : https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shason-T...c-Brown-Available-In-Multiple-Colors/54806116
I would go with the 3" for your daily use drafting stool. It will pack down as you cover the chair. If it seems too thick you can always slice a bit off the top before putting the cover on. For the price, I would order one of the 2" and one 3" and play around with it. For the restaurant stools, 2" would probably work. Faux leather isn't cheap but it works better than real leather for what you want to do with it. Good luck with your project.
I finally found fabric to get my Blazer seat reupholstered, $145/yd. The vinyl for the sides and back of the seat is $79/yd (It's long out of production but a mill ran a batch of the fabric)
