[Milsurplus] FW: Container storage

[Antonio A. S. Magalhaes]

I had also problems with humidity in my house shop. After four years
living abroad, I found all my stuff - mostly mechanic tools - severely
rusted. Recently, I bougth from Germany a commercial dehumidifier and I
have always 50% of relative humidity inside. That could work in a
container, if you close your eyes when receiving your energy bill. 

Best regards from rainy Portugal, 

Antonio/CT1TE.
