Re: (313) late again.

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

We've got a 50 pint (6.25 Gallon) dehumidifier in our basement and it's
super dry.  There is evidence that the previous owner had some moisture
issues and some mold but they had a big closet that I ripped out and got
some airflow going on.

They work very well.  If you get ones with auto humidistat control you can
program how much (by percentage) humidity you want to remain in the air (or
at what point you want the machine to kick in).  Well worth having just for
saving your basement from moisture issues.

And tomorrow on This Old House...
