Just so everyone knows, the garage is not that well sealed. There's
enough gaps here & there in the walls so actually trapping humidity
would be difficult. It's just a crazy little idea sparked after I heard
some people will vent their dryers back into the basement to help warm
it up during the winter months. My radiator pipes take care of that
just fine so I figure I might look into warming as space I care about
while tackling a problem I have (drying ducting going out a window).
Thanks for the responses so far! They've been helpful and if you have
any more ideas, keep them coming!
Thanks!
