How dry is dry?

Scott,

Thanks for the info!

Considering how much of the building is wood... I will absolutely be checking for bugs!

I've gotta head to Greensboro for some fire caulk today, so while I'm out and about I'll stop and look at what WW Supply has... (I love and hate going in there... I'll spend too much money I know!)

I've picked up a Delmhorst J-Lite moisture meter. I think it'll be a sufficient
meter for my needs... hope so anyway.

I did some random checking in the pile and most all of the wood has reached between 9 and 9.5 percent. (Allowing for temperature and species)

Unfortunately, with the lack of space to move the lumber, it's going to have to sit in the basement for at least another couple of weeks until I get my rough-in inspections done.

At that time, I'll move the stack to the studio to get the moisture content down as low as I can before starting to work with it.

There won't be a permanent power connection for several weeks after that, so sitting in the heat of the building should help to drive that moisture down another point or so.

If nothing else, maybe I can put a dehumidifier next to the pile to help draw out more moisture.

Again, thanks for the advice gentlemen!
