End moisture in milk house with insulation and vent
A reader asks how to stop condensation in an added milk room. The advice notes lack of insulation and ventilation as the cause and recommends laying sheet insulation atop the ceiling joists, adding a 10 by 10 or 10 by 12 vent flue through the roof with a bottom valve, and insulating walls with plaster board or an extra insulation layer filled in stud spaces. If the ceiling is insulated and a ventilator is installed, further trouble should end.
