I'm losing my conditioned air storage and I'm looking for your best solutions to keep the firearms rust free and the ammo fresh in the basement.
Basement situation: typical New England poured concrete, unfinished, It's dry and passively heated with forced hot water pipes routed up into the house. In the summer, the 1 gallon dehumidifier can fill up in 24hours at 70%. Obviously I get the temperature swings between seasons.
I can repurpose a large basement closet to fit a safe and storage containers. This is a light wood framed closet and my first thought was to insulate and tighten up the air flow in this room. At the same time I'd beef up the construction. Not sure if I'll be able to run electric humidity options here.
Thoughts? What should I be thinking about here - thanks.
