I was thinking of running calk and foam gap filler everywhere.. When I built it, I put that smart siding, tyvex, insulation and sheet rock..  The roof joists are the only place I can imagine any air is getting in..  Although my humidity reading tend to run higher the lower I put the sensor.  The dehumidifier is on the ground as well and read higher than all the sensors on the wall.  As I said, its taking out about 50 pints of water day and can't get it below 50%.. as an example, it was at 64% this morning..  I have standalone dehumidifier in the inventory room which is 12x6..  The main work room is 12x22 and am using the AC in dehumidifier mode.. it is running about 56%..  There is a wall and sliding barn door between the two room.  Door opening about 6'. it is also insulated..

My inventory is individually wrapped in plastic to protect it from scratches.. could the humidity be somehow coming from the inventory?

well.. emptied the dehumidifer this morning around 7.. by 3 it was full again.. I went to lowes and bought a hose to run the water outside.  while I was there, I picked up a few of those plastic bucket DampRids that were like $6.. stopped in the Dollar Tree and they had them for $1.25.. I loaded up.. Will be interesting to see if those things catch any moister as well..
