Fighting humidity in the house

[Nalu]

I second the woodstove. We have one of those temp/humidity level gauges, and when we burn a fire up here in MT. View, the humidity levels drop dramatically. really helps in the thick of rainy winter. The ceiling fans help alot too, when it's not hot enough for a fire, but the floor feels damp, I turn the ceiling fans on high and after about an hour, they feel dry. For those wet cabinets, ie under bathroom sink and kitchen sink, I use the refillable damprid and empty once a week, no mold problems. We bought a dehumidifier before we got the wood stove and our electrical bills went up so high that we shut it off and never used it again. If it's a super rainy day, we close up all the windows and leave them only cracked, and when the sun comes back out, we open everything up. Angela
