thats an interesting point about "leaving grit & minerals" in the loft Peter . i wonder how many change or remove it ? it looks like the minimal amount of moisture in the loft is just something i will have to live with.
theres a 2" gap front and rear beneath the roof , (9" x 12" approx) grill on the sliding door .i would say the entry point works well , yet the air doesnt "exit" the loft well . ive not tested the humidity ,and dont (as yet) have a guage . Franks salt test no, yet have placed grit in a pot which has attracted "dampness" ? no not so Harry , it was dry at the time it was fitted ,and even had a light sanding with a fine "wet & dry" before being fixed . the spare piece is as rusty as the piece used for the bob,s ??
i have been cleaning a race section (taken me a few weeks) not that it was so bad , but i was . ive found a length of mild-steel round bar i used for the bob-wires i put in last year. it was left on top of the boxes and is totally covered in rust ? . theres a good covering of felt on the roof ,plenty of sunshine through the perspex and air through the vents ,so why did it rust ? would you say the humidity is bad in that section ? if so how can it be improved ?
i have been in 3 clubs now. first 2 for 3 years ,moving house each time. next year will be our 4th season in Gladsmuir P.C. had i not moved home i would have happily stayed in any of them.
