I have a back porch where my washer/dryer are. I have a small gas heater that I ran on low at night when the temp gets below 32. I have fairly new windows double-paned. I leave one window cracked for ventilation and there is also a doggy door. My problem is that there is condensation on the inside corner of the room that is closest to the doggy door. I don't know what else I can do. Please give me suggestions
 
Gas heaters give off water vapour; water vapour + cold near the doggy door = condensation.
Assume the drier is properly vented to the outside?
 
The air is coldest at the floor , in a corner there is no air circulation, hence condensation. To check this out run a small fan on its lowest speed in the corner to move the air about and see if it cures the problem. If it does then you need to either move the air about or increase the temperature of the air. 40W(or lower) light bulb? The big sheds sell green house heater ~ 80W, they might work, wire it via a thermostat, so it only comes on at 10 degs C.
