Question:

Out building and insulation?

Back ground:I live in N California and the temps have dropped and 3 weeks ago I just built a 14X20 outbuildingI had a cement pad poured, I used hardiboard siding with TRX vapor wrap underneathThere is 1 gable vent and 1 double pain vinyl sliding patio door, with a comp roofIt took 6 days to finishAfter I sealed it with about 15 tubes of caulking and painted it, I started to load it up with storageWhat is happening now is all my cardboard boxes are water logged and items destroyed due to moisture in the airThey were not sitting on the floor but still all got ruinedIt's crazy I wanted to save this stuff that lasted 50 years in my family and now they are ruined.Was it the concrete? Lack of insulation? (there no insulation inside.) My old 30 year old shed did a better job.Where do I go from here to solve this issue?

Answer:

Because people who drink water (healthy) don't want to drink it out of an unhealthy (aluminum) canWater is sold in bottles.
Packaging, it is easier to consume a bottle, plus you would need an opener if the tab broken, I regularly drink Club Soda it is fizzy water in a can.
I have a can of water from the flood of 93Anheuser-Busch donated tens of thousands of them to flood victims thenNo labelIt was simply marked drinking water.
Actually they do.in a wayMost people don't like the taste of canned water because of the way it's canned - it has a bit of an off taste However, any time there's a major disaster you'll often find canned water at any place set up to help refugees or the displacedI know because I've helped out after floods and things and been at the warehouses that hand out free items like food and water and you'll often hand out bottled or canned water.
you may have sealed it too well, plus not having the insulation, may be causing condensationYes, insulate it, maybe with 1/2 or 3/4 inch foam board make sure there is at least a little air circulation near the roofMaybe a small screened hole at each end.
