Springtime is always the worst time of the year for my garage. Temps go from 30's at night to 60's-70's in the daytime and everything in the garage sweats like a pig, causing water spots, and corrosion on bare steel. Any easy solutions for this problem? I have a fan hung from the ceiling over my lift, and wondered if turning it on low would circulate the air and help, or if I should get a dehumidifier?

if you get a dehumidifier get a big one or you'll be emptying every day. also, don't store any halogens (chlorine etc.) in the garage with your bike, they will definitely cause major premature rusting!

Damn! 71 degrees today and the garage floor has beads of water standing on it. I had an old cam I pulled last fall which has been sitting, rust-free all winter, and today it looks like a mossy rock! There's gotta be a way to stop this! Arrggghh!

I'd post a pic myself but I'd have to dehumidify the camera................
I can tell the fuel level in the tank from the condensation on the side!!!
