Humidity at 70% according to my little gauge. I have opened the windows for ventilation and will start checking what can be the cause.

Would just like it to be warmer when I’m working in there. Will be adding some heaters in the next few weeks as well.

@fourtytwo that wasn’t the intention but there’s been a fence worth of wood panels in there for 18 months!

@Harry Bloomfield at the moment it is used as a workshop (very much an amateur). This will likely progress into a ‘man cave’/workshop. I understand that if I want it to become a proper room it would be best to put up stud walls and seal the doors off completely. I like having the doors there so...

Garage is very dry. There is an absolute ton of wood in there for various projects. Perhaps there’s a lot of moisture coming out of it as it dries out.

I could probably fill the metal channels in the triangle shape with expanding foam to help insulate. Metal round the edge of the door just sits on the frame so not much I can do with it.

No machines running in the garage bar the boiler. No clothing lines either. I will put my humidity sensor in there to see what level it’s currently at.

I have added xtratherm insulation boards to the back of our garage doors to help keep some heat in the garage. This morning I went out to have a nosey and noticed some condensation on the foil tape. It is specifically sitting on the tape stuck to the garage door metal. Obviously it got very...

Looks cool though :D

Yep little VonHaus fan on top already. I'm not going to have any boxes up there. A soundbar will be about the height of it.

Sure is. It was installed early November. The picture in my first post is how everything sits right now.

The only cables that will be exposed are the power and ethernet to the TV. We chased the wall for Electric and ethernet to the sockets (see pic in first post). Heat proof/fire resistant sleeve - will look into this. Heat reflective coating - will take a look at this as well.

@winston1 The TV will be used for occassional use in the 'good room' so crick in the neck won't really be an issue. Our living room has the TV mounted at eye level on a non-chimney breast wall as used daily. Heat and modern electrics - I completely get the argument. I would love to see some...

@Lucid very helpful thanks for that. The wall above the stove doesn't actually seem to get too hot. I need to get a thermometer taped on and a good 4-5 hours burning to test. I actually have an OLED TV to go up. Are they sealed panels?

I have a bit of a dilemma which I'm hoping some members can help shed some light on. Our lounge, while a good size room, only really lends itself to mounting a TV above the wood burning stove. Worth noting that this is a block wall not stud. From a bit of research I see concerns of heat...

I'll definitely check it out and try on one of the 'hatches.' Should I run the same glue along the joists as well to give a better seal/grip to the hatch piece?

Found a pic from a few months back.

We have inherited some lovely squeaky floors in our new (to us) house. Seemingly to install either the spotlights and/or speaker cable the installers just went upstairs and hacked access hatches in the floor. Essentially they cut the tongue out of a number of sections to get access to the...
