Prototype illustrating a concept (User system Interaction TU/e) of how augmented reality could be used to aid home (room) furnishing.

I have a storage building that is regular wood construction with vinyl siding and a peaked metal roof. It sits directly on concrete blocks and has a plywood floor. The floor is about 10 inches from the dirt beneath the building, and as far as I can tell, the wood does not touch the soil anywhere (it might somewhere; hard to see the whole underside)

Yet there’s always a wet spot on the plywood, not adjacent to the wall, when it rains and even for a while afterwards. The roof is not leaking, at least water is not coming through the ceiling or down the wall – and the soil under the building is bone dry!

Any idea how the floor is probably getting wet? Can water "wick" along the 2×4′s to the lowest point of the floor? (the floor is uneven and this is the lowest point) And, any idea how to find out and fix this problem? I want to carpet and furnish in there, but until this problem is solved I’m stuck.

Thanks for any ideas.

I’m moving to another city to attend grad school and I’m extremely broke. At some point while living up there I’d like to furnish my apartment with more than four lawn chairs and a mattress. I don’t care if it matches or not, I’d just like some good recommendations on incredibly cheap furniture.

If they offer to move it to your house too, even better, but right now I’ll take any suggestions you all can offer. Thanks!

Please, does a room which has been sprayed for bedbugs have to be left unoccupied and very sparsely furnished for 6 months? Has anyone ever heard of this?
