New Gun Closet

[edgehill]

I haven’t changed anything since the last pictures. Having lived with it for a while, there are a few things I might have done differently but they’re so minor that they’re not big deals.

Both my wife and I use it daily.

The only issue is it’s too humid and warm in the room. My current dehumidifying solution isn’t cutting the mustard. I don’t want to use a gold rod because it’s already too warm in that room.

So any dehumidifiers that might work but don’t use heat would probably work. Just haven’t found anything yet.

If feasible/possible and assuming it's a forced air system, do you think running a air return duct along with a heat/air duct to that gun room would help any, would keep the humidity/temp in that sealed area in line with the rest of the house ?

What’s your humidity reading? I use something similar to one of these in my safe——-> https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020670699

I have a version of these of each of my of my safes and one in my cupboard that I store my reloading supplies.

And one in the "gun room" in the open. Yes, I have OCD.

Mine are digital with readings and history so I can see if they are changing. I know I am a bit overkill but I do highly recommend them for anyone with a gun room or a safe. I also have the golden rod heating elements in my safes too.

It’s possible. I’ll have to look in the attic to see how close the nearest duct is.

I have two of those types in the gun closet. It’s just not keeping up.

Remember, if its feasible, the needed duct work will not need to be the same physical dimensions as what it's being attached to, all you're looking for is some controlled air circulation in that small space.

Keep us posted bud

Have you had time, and, if so, what did you find out?

Yes. We have about two feet above the space even though it’s near an outside wall. There is a duct nearby, so my construction guy is coming by in a few weeks to build me a vent.

We'll use DampRid until he is able to do the work.

Then you need some AC in there or put louvers on the door.
