We looked at a 6-year old Log house today to possibly purchase and found a lot of condensation on all the windows. Some facts we know about the situation: 1. The house seemed nearly empty with the inside temperature of about 65-68F 2. A cold day in Alaska. Outdoor temperatures were -30F 3. the house has three separate heating systems: 1) ground floor with hot water circulating in tubes under the flooring, 2) second floor has radiant heat, 3) a gas stove on the first floor. 4. The design is an open space all around the house 5. All window were nearly equally covered with ice in the bottom section of the window (with visible mold under the ice) 6. The gas stove heater draws outside air for combustion We understand the high difference in outdoor/indoor tempartures and the fact the the house is nearly empty may play a role in the excessive condenstation. The question is.... what do we need to ask and what do we need to change to remedy the situation.

Here's the result I am trying to figure out - I need to put a double door entry way into a 9x7 garage door opening. I will only be using both entry doors to get things in and out of the building a few times per year. I have been scouring the internet for hours tonight trying to find a set of double doors that could "double" as a garage door when needed. If you're curious, here's why: I am constructing a cabin on a lake lot that I plan to turn into a 3 car garage once I build my real home (20 years from now). I am going to be building a menards 3 car garage and will completely retrofit the inside and put windows into the other 2 garage openings. However, for the center opening, I want the option to utilize it as a garage in the winter time without putting a garage door in it. I cannot use a garage door or else it would violate the covenants.... There has got to be an easy way to mock up two wide and tall doors that can be used as an entry way and double as a garage opening when needed - any ideas???
