I'm loving my dehumidifier

[SeaCat]

When I woke up this morning it was to open windows and a cool breeze blowing through the place. I also woke up to damp sheets and bedroom rug. The towels in the bathroom were also damp. The whole place was damp. When I looked at the weather station I could see the problem.

The outside temperature was 73° and the inside temperature was 75°. The humidity both inside and outside was right at 100%. That could explain the place feeling wet.

I looked at the weather for the day and saw the high temp. was forecast to be 75°. I closed the windows and kicked on the De-Humidifier.

I picked this thing up a couple of years ago. It's big and old. It stands two feet tall and is two feet wide. The catch bucket for it holds two gallons of water. I emptied the catch basin twice during the day.

Right now the Temperature outside is at 70° and the humidity is still at 100%. The temperature inside is 75° and the humidity is 49%. (The higher inside temp is due to the De-Humidifier, they put out a bit of heat.) In other words it's quite comfortable now.

I'm glad I picked this thing up.

Hehe, the things we do to endure the elements.

Guess what? I was browsing for a good humidifier today.

Well Cat, you should live where I do. You'd think, with the Atlantic to the East and a river running through it, my part of the world would be more humid than it is, but it seems that the weather people, or the Forestry Service, or whoever it is, run up the red flag almost as soon as it quits raining.
