Shop Moisture/Condensation

[GASoline71]

How do you guys deal withg moisture and condensation in your shops? Last August the new wife and I moved onto a 3 acre property with a 38x40 foot shop. It's a concrete floor pole barn with metal siding, open ceiling, and some thin foamish type insulation between the siding and the frame. I intend on installing a wood stove in the shop someday. But for now am using kerosene heat.

I know there is a little condensation from using kerosene or propane in the cold... but that's not the concern. What happens is if it gets to freezing or below outside, and I open one of the big rollup doors... it will start "raining" inside the shop in about a half an hour. This is even before I use any heat. It's got to be from the cold rush of air coming in to the shop and acting with the slightly warmer air inside and making a crap ton of moisture. Having to put tarps over the truck, toys, and tools is getting to be a pain in the ass.

I guess I will need to look to insulate the shop better, and even enclose the ceiling as well. But that won't happen for another couple of years. This has been a real downer to the wife and I, since the shop was a big reason we chose the house and property.

I searched the forum, but didn't come up with anything... any idears fellas?
