RE: Moisture Check



This is very helpful info.  Keep it coming.

>From previous studies my understanding is that moisture levels are
usually well below 15% .   Are these readings at around 14 because of
the unfinished interior bales?  Would they be lower if the interior was
plastered?

Also:

I presume this was some sort of exterior condensation on a North wall
and not related to interior moisture sources.  

Thanks for the report.
