OH ... didn't realized you were the OP. OK then someone cover me I going in for another recon of the OP.


EDIT OK I'm back...guess back in the day I quit reading after the 2nd page...got too complicated. No...not that's is a bad thing, it's me. My fault.

Water freezing inside the wood expands the cells and allows the moisture to escape more quickly.
^probably why I can only hand split winter wood with my torn rotator cuff...wouldn't try that in the summer. Ruin my golf game for weeks...

Iceman, the RH in your area right now is 78% and the dewpoint is 16ºF. Temperature is 21º with calm winds. If it drops just 5 more degrees, the RH will be 100%.

In those conditions, if Rockey brings his bucket of ice over to your house, it won't dry...er... I mean sublimate until hell freezes over.

so you are telling me its does not dry in the winter??
all this time i have been waiting for hell to freeze over??

No, I'm telling you that no matter how low the dewpoint goes, it won't dry much at 78% RH. I'll bet the RH dropped considerably during the hottest part of the day today, though. However, I didn't check it so I don't know.

Hey, can I join you guys for the beer?
