Exterior painting - moisture

I am trying to complete an exterior painting project in the Indianapolis area for a couple putting their home up for sale and moving to Cincinnati. Unfortunately, the deck and windows are still to wet too apply any primer or paint. I measured the moisture yesterday and the deck floor was 15%. It should be 10% or less.

For anyone looking to hire a painting contractor, ask them if they are going to measure the moisture and see what their response is. It is a must!!! For you do-it-yourself painters, you can pick a moisture meter up at Lowe's for less than $20.
