OK, I've officially hit the wall on game "expansion"
and my wife read me the riot act for having games
beyond my games room...
So I've got this nice big 12x12 outdoor shed (..bigger than my games room !),
and I was wondering of the the long-term effects of having wooden cabs
stored in there given the seasonal weather changes and humidity levels
of our Canadian climate...
( [Central Canada/Ontario] : 60-90F, 50-80% humidity in summer,
-30 to -5 in the winter )
I would strip out all electronics and glass (bezels, marquees, etc...),
but would leave the wood, monitor, CP and metal hardware .
The shed is dry with no [known] signs of rodent life.
Are there any issues or problems in doing this ?
ie. Do I risk damaging the cabs in any way ?
(wood/mildew, paint/vinyl peeling, rusting metal hardware ? )
Would wrapping them in plastic wrap and/or tarps help ?
Keep in mind that some of these cabs could be there for years,
before I can get enough space for them in house...
Thoughts ?
Thanks,
Steph
