Dampness...
I have had my shed for a few years now and like most people it continues to evolve. I live in Qld and have noticed since the bid wet my shed smells a bit musty and I found roll of masking tape with mold on it. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about controlling humidity in the shop?
With all this rain it is something new for me and my shop. I am positive there is now rain coming in I have never seen a puddle or wet spot on the floor coming from the walls. I have been in the shed during pouring rain and dry as. I do have plywood cover two walls but it feels dry to the touch.
As always any knowledge shared is deeply appreciated

Cross flow ventilation is a priority, if you have lined with ply chances are you have made it almost draft proof. First thoughts are 2 whirly bird vents each end of roof with vents down low to allow for make up air.
Is it possible you can give a rough sketch of door and type, window sizes and location.The person who never made a mistake never made anything

mustiness in your shed, I would give my back teeth for that...it would mean its rained.
Be grateful its not ash for fires.

Wood and musty smell also means the right conditions to encourage termites
