DT:
I like the closet bar thingies. They seem smart - but do they make the closet HOT?
Depends upon size--I've noted a small rise in interior temp in the kitchen cupboards that have the rods, but not in the pantry or closets themselves. btw, some people just use a 100w bulb burning continuously to accomplish what the heat rods do in a confined space. You would have to balance the cost of the rod with its electric consumption against the bulb (cheap) with its (higher) consumption, I guess.
We had several fine-knotted oriental carpets in the Kapoho house that didn't seem to be damp whenever I went to clean, so perhaps nap size/length is a factor in attracting moisture from the air.
I know that you will beat this problem, DT. Do not get discouraged or fatalistic about the issue, just keep plugging away and eventually (soon, I hope) you will one day notice that you're comfortable in your home..
