Getting Rid of Damp

We're having some problems with damp seeping in. Both the v-berth and the
aft cabin have wood bins on the sides for storage...these are open and
about 9 inches deep. That's where we store our clothes. The hull side and
bottoms are carpeted with the same fabric as the the liner, a sort of
nubbly burlappy material but more closely woven. It seems the clothes on
the bottom are always damp. I've been rotating them so they won't mildew
but that's getting tedious. Also have damp problems where the cushions
meet the hull walls in the berths. Got some roll out thick paper stuff
from West Marine but as soon as it gets damp, the sheets start picking up
moisture again. I've taken to running fans all the time to keep air
circulating and am cutting back on boiling anything or running the heater
excessively when it's raining so humidity doesn't build up. I've got 3M
window plastic over the ports and the vents are all open and drawing.
Thought of using DampRid, but since NC is in a permanent state of humid,
we'd be going through one of those every other day. Any suggestions on how
to keep damp and mildew from forming (except stopping breathing
processes)?

Ventilation helps a lot here in sunny FL.
I've drilled "limber holes" in my lockers and lined drawers bottms and
shelves with "dri-dek" (http://www.dri-dek.com/). This stuff is great. Kinda
pricy but it won't wear out, cleans easily and allows air to ciculate under
whatever is stored in the drawer or locker. For your bins, I'd recommend
drilling holes in the bottoms and using the dri-deck on the bottom and hull
side.
I have a big garage sale dehumidifier, (too big, need to downsize) and it
does help a lot.


Oh, I used to use that in the bottoms of dog crates when I was still
grooming dogs...works great...and can be cut to size...thanks...

So, if your neighbor murders your son, it's ok for you to kill them all?

That's not what the cops say where I live. It's NOT OK for me to kill
off
the neighbors if they kill someone of mine. I'll certainly want to, but
we
are a society of laws. We don't just start banging away on the
neighbors
with our M-16s trying to see how many we can kill. That leads to
anarchy
and everyone dies.

Why is murder OK when it's done by Zionists? I've wondered that for
years.



Laws of society? Yet you just got done telling me how all Jews should die
or
AH should have "finished" the job.

You're a loon.

So why do you insist on debating with a loon? Do you think he will
suddenly stop being a loon if you argue with him enough?



Yes, you're right of course. It's a fine line between not allowing racist
stuff to go without saying anything and thus condoning it and ignoring loons
as a matter of policy.

You can point out that a post is racist with one post in that thread
if you feel that every one is is less intelligent than you are and
can't figure it out themselves. That is not the same thing as engaging
in a debate.



I doubt that I'm more intelligent than anyone else here, which is doubless
why I posted multiple times on the subject. :)

You should have typed 'doubtlessly" (not doubless). Aside from the incorrect
spelling of the root word you compounded your folly by not using it as an
adjective. "Which is (doubtlessly) why."

You and Dave are equally illiterate. Or, perhaps I should say "equal
illiterate?? Bwaahahhahahah.

You need to clear up your muddled thought and expression, Neal. Are you
alleging that "doubtless" is an adjective, or that "doubtlessly" is an
adjective?

Without a doubt, it's doubtlessly when used as an adjective.

Perhaps I should commence writing to you using lower Flesch-Kincaid grade
level scores?

I don't have the original from Wilbur, he's in my KF. How I managed to read the post of his below must be down to poor KF management on my part. That he has the audacity to post the above, when he wrote what is below is beyond me.

The word 'all' in the above is completely redundant, and using it there makes you look a fool. You've named what is being referenced, so there is no need for 'all'.

"The boat stronger" what does that mean?

Ending a sentence with a preposition?! Wilbur, surely, with
qualifications that entitle you to criticise how is it possible you
could make such a mistake?


The overhead will get
condensation on it when cooking and boiling water but that's about it
and that soon evaporates.

Water vapour will condense on it, it doesn't "get condensation on it".
The condensation hasn't arrived there from somewhere else, one is the
condenser and the other the condensate. For it to 'get condensation on
it' the vapour must condense elsewhere and then, somehow, transfer.
Perhaps you meant to say "water will condense on it".


Also keeping the hatches open when aboard, which is most of the time
for us real sailors,

OK, this one isn't a grammar/spelling error, but, dammit, it wasn't
spotted by anybody: Living on a boat doesn't make you a real sailor.
*Sailing* is what makes people sailors.


helps keep the boat surfaces and air temperature
in synch so you're correct there Karin.

Now you don't know to whom you are replying.


If a boat doesn't have an insulated hull it's going to sweat and their
is nothing that can be done

Their?! WTF?!

Wilbur, please don't criticise other's use of the language when you
butcher it so badly yourself.

Well, there it is, from the horse's mouth. In my fourteen years of
reading news-groups this is the first time I've ever seen a troll admit
their guilt. It's going in my scrap-book!

Ha! In the very best of Bobspit tradition, when one is thoroughly hoist

Sad, truly sad.
