Basically looking for ideas to add some kind of window to the solid core wood door to my spare room, which also holds my gun safe.
Its not a gun strongroom in that sense, just a normal room with heavy door and deadbolt, but I keep it locked as it has other goodies in the room.
The issue is it has only one window( with security mesh) and no great ventilation in the room even with the window open.
In NQ, particularly during rain, any rooms that are not commonly being opened and walked into accumulate mould pretty quick, within a few days at times. I have backpacks and sleeping bag hanging up, mould eats stuff and costs money in this region. Also my rossi levergun with its rubberwood stock( I think) gets covered in green fuzz about every 2 weeks.
Ideas I have had.
1. Running a fan in the room constantly?
2. Cutting the window section in the door as mentioned. Any ideas? Size? What tool cuts a good hole in a door? How to still secure it?( screw mesh over the hole? Where to get it?).
3. Aircon- I dont want the expense for another room.
4. packet dessicants just won't work, too much moisture.
Also just regards the gun safe
1. Finishing the Rossi stock with something more protective.
2. Ripping the cheap fluffy carpet interior out as it probably assists mould growth.
3. Drilling a couple holes in the top or a less accessible surface( its a solid 6mm all sides) to try and improve the air flow into it.
Im no handyman as you can tell, the technical jobs were given to people who scored higher on the army aptitude tests
