1000 bucks for second-rate records, sounds like an overprice, new records cost only about twice as much. And then you get the right quality and can buy the right amount at the right time (or do you need exactly 47 records?).
Just read a bit on Norgips' site;
"Incorrect storage may lead to deterioration of the
quality of the final result. In a moist state, gypsum is
a plastic material. This means that a board is deformed
if it is damp and dries in this condition.
In practice, it is impossible to straighten it again."

They haven't been stored completely flat either..
In addition, we don't have space for the boards indoors until we've completed some stuff upstairs, like insulating & screwing the floor, which in turn means the boards will need to stay outside until the floor is finished.
Perhaps it’s not such a bad idea to buy new, straight, nice boards when it’s finally time to get started?

A 1.20X2.40 low-price costs 49 pix at byggmax so it's a slight saving plus you have to manage storage and drying and then probably still have to deal with slightly warped boards. Might possibly be used for small projects but not for a house, in my opinion.
It was the building materials supplier who calculated and delivered the wrong amount... Now they have been lying around and taking up space since August

Under these circumstances, I would probably return the excess boards and ask them to come and pick them up. When you need new ones, you can order new ones :

Is it so tight that you can use a construction heater or does it consume too much electricity for heating, let's say a few degrees??
Since you have plastic for the hole where the garage door is supposed to be, you might be able to add a layer of insulation on the inside and finish with masonite boards, which aren't too expensive. Have you then made a temporary insulated wall? We had to do that when we extended our house
If you could have reached above freezing, a chemical dehumidifier like Torrbollen would probably have worked well, but I don't think they work so well in sub-zero temperatures, plus you'd likely need to cover the doors to minimize moisture infiltration as much as possible.
Sorry about the Christmas party.
