I was talking to my neighbor about the water issue in my office.
Its condensation. This place was built too friggin tight. The guy I bought it from way over-engineered things. Its insulated with not only R30 batts of insulation, but it also has 6" of hard foam insulation in the floor and ceilings, and 2" in the walls.
Then, I'm out here burpin and fartin' about 18 hours a day, and I've got 8 five gallon buckets of hydroponics bubbling away 24/7 along with some big ol' bushy weed plants giving up water to the air.
Humidity builds up, gets up into the ceiling, hits the cold roof and them bam, condenses and drips down the walls.
So instead of running my mini-split in heatpump mode, I'll just run a dehumidifier which will heat the place up while also extracting all that humidity out of the air.
Its a nice and balmy 77 out here now, which is great because my leg hurts like hell and the heat is fantastic on it.
