Oh, the Humidity!
This summer has been horribly humid, far more than usual. The kitchen floor has a thin film of water on it all the time. In the basement, the pump closet that stores the water softener has a puddle in it. It's not a leak--it's condensation that drips off the tanks. The tanks have so much water on them, you can skim your hand over them and make a splashing sound.
It's awful! In winter, it gets so dry that your lips crack and nose bleeds, and in summer, you swim instead of walking.
To cope, I bought a new dehumidifier--a large one--and installed it in the basement. It filled up right quick, and had to be emptied every hour for a while. But now? The puddles have dried up, the tanks are barely damp, and you can feel the dryness in the air. In fact, the basement is now dryer than the upstairs!
There needs to be a little more balance, here.
