I guess since I don’t run heat or air continuously? I should meter the house. Do I need to bring moisture down in shop? But getting off topic (though a good one), does this say moisture is the issue or hard to conclude? Do I bring the moisture meter to HD (for cedar) and if so, what is acceptable %? 11% as is shop? Lower? </span></div>
