No one TELLS you that the wood is GREEN or how it will AFFECT your building on the inside, but we'll get to that in a minute! I chose this one based off the ratings, and how fast desertcart could ship it (they were a day late, bummer). First, when it arrived, I tested in the house. I used setting A, simply because it seemed logical. I poked the window trim (12.7%). I poked a few firewood logs sitting in the living room the last 3 years. One was 8.2%, and the others (hard maple) I couldn't even GET the prongs into to get a reading. My husband stabbed them in as HARD as he could and got 2.3%. I concluded that REALLY DRY WOOD was nearly impossible to register, and really dry, well, is simply really dry! And that's when it got a little crazy . . . The kids went running through the house screaming while Mom chased them with pointy probes yelling "just let me test you!" (I was 21% and my husband 23% - we set to it "building material" for the setting . . . you know . . . for building with human flesh?). And then when my husband went into work the next morning with two PROMINANT pricks in his neck, his co-workers made wide circles to avoid him and he had to explain his wife "probed him". I don't ink that helped much. ON to my shed. Cabin. Thing. Green wood. They don't TELL you when you order a cabin/shed that they use GREEN WOOD. Green wood SHRINKS. Green wood does NOT play well with spray foam (don't get me started on spray foam). And when your professional spray foam company also fails to tell you that 2" isn't code, nor will keep condensation off (rott much?), nor do they actually spray it to 2" but more like 1 to 1.5", well, you have to make the difficult decision to cover the walls in PLASTIC SHEETING to keep moisture away from the foam so it doesn't condensate in the winter behind your walls and rot. Had I time, I'd call them back to finish it. But I'm a farmer, I got stuff to do, and this is a YouTube project. Ain't nobody got time for that! Oh wait . . . but your wood is GREEN and is SWEATING out that moisture and now THAT is trapped behind your plastic and STILL will rot yours walls . . . Seriously. Luckily this little moisture tester was just the trick to give me PEACE OF MIND! I'm not sure why pine AND maple are BOTH setting A (pine is soft and maple hard as rock) but whatever. My cabin floor boards registered at 10.3%, several of my wall studs at 8-12% and just a few were at 22%. I am using kiln dried hard maple boards for my final wall covering and those were 8.2%. I did play around with other settings, and the readings changed from 23% on my worst studs to 16%. I'm not sure how they pick thier settings, but I do know the two prongs send out small electric pulses from one to the other and the moisture in the wood transfers the signal. The wetter the wood, the faster the signal transfers, and the higher the number. If you need a certain percentage of moisture for a special project, this is the one to get. Although the beeping is a bit irritating . . . I mean, if people can't read a number I don't know why they are shopping on desertcart . . .
