Building in outdoor shed?
 

As many of you have read, my house is under construction and it is taking ridiculously long. I don't have anywhere safe to store/build the precious 2M composite plane I have sitting NIB in climate controlled storage. I'm sure this has been covered a little in the past but I want to be extra cautious.

I have an outdoor shed. It looks remarkably clean and dry inside, especially given the fact that the house was abused and neglected by previous owners. However, the shed it is not sealed. There are 2 soffit vents, I think the eves are open, and the door doesn't come close to sealing anything. The temperature here in SW Ohio is decent right now but humidity really picks up some days.

Should I be concerned, or should I go ahead and start building? I'm not sure I know where I could bring the plane at the end of a building session at this point, probably another few weeks before the hired help clears out of my spare bedroom. The shed is protected by a padlock and I should be able to run a 100' 12ga extension cord for lights and tools.

Thoughts?

I would say go for it I built out of old sheds and garages, long as you can lock it up you should be ok

Joe,

   Is this your Integral?  Go for it!! Get that thing ready for the Nats!!  It is all composite so the temp and humidity won't affect it.  It is much hotter and humider down here and my Integral lives in the garage and does just fine.
   BTW - my CNC has been waiting to start cutting!!<br type="_moz"/>

Ya Keith I feel horrible, I haven't had my plane around to check fits and measurements. Nowhere in the house is safe from the construction.

Well the Shed seems to let in less water than my house :eek: Thanks for the encouragement, I just brought a load of 'parts' from storage. Should have the plane here within a week or two. Shed should work, and if the cabinets find their way from the garage to the inside of the house before then, even better.
