Currently looking for home/shop in Greenville or Augusta area as a
native Californian. Currently sharing 2 car garage with wood storage
outside as humidity on So Calif coast isn't a problem. Hoping to get
shop with enough space inside for storage and wondering if sharing a 3
car garage is viable. Would opening door for car cause too big a
problem with humidity? Expecting a dehumidifier will be required in
most cases but will opening the door overwhelm it? Californians aren't
typically faced with this schtuff. Observations welcomed!


I live in Aiken, SC. (just across the water from Augusta, GA.) and
unless a garage in this area is unusually sealed, humidity will be a
problem. Do some real estate research and find a house with a
basement (rare but not unheard of) that has climate control or build a
separate shop building. If you own a home in California, you can
purchase an equivalent home and have enough money left over for a VERY
nice shop :-)
