Members Melodeous Posted November 30, 2008 Members Share Posted November 30, 2008 LOL. I turned on my dehumidifier this morning. My room RH shot up to 57%. It's now a respectable 47%. The dehumidifier has a monitoring system user-controllable in 5% increments. I keep it set to 45% RH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bubbluz Posted November 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 30, 2008 Today will be the first time I've needed it since the fire-breather in the basement came on this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brokepick Posted November 30, 2008 Members Share Posted November 30, 2008 Had a cold snap about a week ago. I had to fill the humidifier twice a day (4 gallons) for a couple of days, just to maintian 45%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted November 30, 2008 Members Share Posted November 30, 2008 The gits and I are used to Louisiana humidity, so this dry climate here has wreaked havoc with us, so I keep a tea kettle simmering on the stove all day. We're much happier since I started doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Killjoy Posted November 30, 2008 Members Share Posted November 30, 2008 last week I was down near 28% in the house! I've had mine going for a little while now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Glad to see that you 'all are doing the right things for your little wooden friends. 35 percent in the wet old PNW and each git has a dampened sponge by its little headstock.

Members Samilyn Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Best thing about using a tea kettle is that I can toss fragrant spices and apples into the simmering water. Smells nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxorox Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 And our friends the house plants. I have some behemouths I have to drag inside in the winter. I think they help a lot in maintaining humidity. Probably the only reason I haven't set them free in the woods yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnkline Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don't even bother with humidifers unless it dropped down to 25% in the house. I guess I just leave them in the case with a sponge sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
