All lumber is hygroscopic. Read about that on my www.AsktheBuilder.com website. All trusses must be supported by bearing walls. A non-bearing wall can be under a truss but it should never carry any load. Most carpenters do *NOT* connect non-bearing walls to trusses the correct way. I show how on my website.

@askthebuilder I live in a cold climate, and I hope to build a shop downhill from my septic system. My septic designer said a lift station would work without freezing. He just said that the things are expensive because, in my case, it would require a 500 gal tank. That plus the pump and the control panel, altogether is quite expensive. He also said that the pumps and the controllers can be a maintenance hassle, but I one man shop shouldn't be too bad. But, I might just go with an incinerator toilet. My designer is dead set against ejector pumps. He also said a lift station for day to day sewage of the whole house would introduce too much maintenance hassle. Based on his advice, I built my house on a slab and gravity feed into the septic system.

I will though take your advice and wet with sponge as I had noticed even after sweeping and blower that there was still dust present.
