    Heating or ventilation or likely a combination of both.

    To be honest if this is an unheated room you must provide good ventilation to keep it dry.
    A large pedestal fan should help, but the windows need leaving open.

    The actual problem magnified at this time of year. It fills with hot air heated by the sun during the day, this lifts and holds the water vapour.
    It chills over night and as cold air does not hold anything like as much vapour, it forms condensation on any cold surface it comes into contact with.

    What may help is cooling the room off in the evening by leaving windows and door open as long as possible to "change" the air, and then leaving the windows open at night.;);)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
