What are you storing in there that has issues with the humidity? Can you just use it for stuff where it isn't an issue/stick some stuff in waterproof containers?

All my tools. It hasn't really been that much of a problem, just surface rust on some bits.
It's come more on my radar for a couple of reasons;
- We're getting there on our internal diy,
- Spring is on its way so I'm thinking about Spring/Summer projects.
- Give all the rain I was curious what the humidity was, and was shocked it had hit 90% given it had previously been 70% or so.

The neighbours garden is now above the DPM and Idk what sort of condition the bricks are in anyway. Unfortunately I doubt a dehumidifier will do anything but burn electricity.
What I really need to do is fix it on the neighbours side, but this is quite involved for a number of reasons.
My current thinking is:
Stage 1: Get some ventilation back in...
Stage 2: add internal waterproofing...
Looking online I think the hardest part of the above is going to find the correct series of products to add together (mainly the SLC). The SLC needs to be OK to adhere to a liquid DPM, but also designed to work as a finished surface, as well as being paintable/sealable. I'm not too fussed about the floor, I just want to be able to clean it. Currently there's lino, which looks shit but is practical.
