[QUOTE="Ronald Etherington, post: 551647, member: 37664"] I have a damp area in a plastered wall and having remedied the cause I want to check if the wall is drying out. I am using the resistance option on my multi-meter and connecting the leads to 2 masonry nails part hammered into the damp area - about 1 inch apart. When I hook up the leads the multi-meter displayed value starts to climb and it takes several minutes to finally stop changing. Can anyone explain why it does this please? [/QUOTE]
