Its a practical thing, I have a humidity sensor within, and its almost permanently above 70% humidity and so i want to try to limit the rust issue on the stove. I have a dehumidifier, which I do use, but until I deal with the gaps in the doors/windows and restrict airflow, I wont ever get a dryer shed.

Don't seal them up too well Dan, carbon monoxide is a silent killer remember to allow adequate ventilation for your stove.

Hope it goes well Dan. I need to do a bit of door making shortly so anything you can post on the process would be much appreciated.
Terry.
