Huh. My mom used me as a mother's helper for years, and I never got paid. I got hosed.
The dehumidifier and vapor barriers will be good things. Even a cheap tarp will work. I had one hanging on the rubblestone foundation wall right behind my toolbench in my old basement, and it helped slow down the rusting away of my tools. Oh, and here's a piece of bizarre trivia. Under the right conditions, i.e., my old basement, you can grow mold on the resin handles of Craftsman screwdrivers. I used to have to dip the handles in paint thinner every so often to clean them off.
