I got a dehumidifier last week. I turned it on and, within about 4 hours, the tank, a 65 pint model, was full. I've been running it in 12 hour cycles for a few days now. The difference down here is amazing. ----- Original Message ----- From: RJ To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Basement Questions?
It sounds like a dehumidifier is the first thing to consider. A good water sealant to seal the walls would help. And between the foundation and the wood, seal it with a good compound, to seal the air leaks. I use white cement to seal basement walls.

Hi All, We have an unfinished basement in our home, and of course, there are a lot of spider webs and spiders down there. What can we do to help lessen or eliminate this problem? And, are there things out there we can use, to lessen the smell of moisture, humidity or dampness? Eventually, we'd like to finish the basement, but will it still smell like a basement, if you know what I mean, once it's completed? Thanks.
