Time to get out the humidifier.

[LeeStreet]

I just got mine out because it's that time of year when things in your house get dry including your nose. There are so many benefits for using a humidifier, and one is to reduce static electricity, so you don't zap your electronics including your computer.

I just pee in bread pans and put the pans on the floor vents. Once you get over the smell it's not bad and it saves money on electricity.

Why bread pans? Use pie plates

I had a JP Adams on my furnace. Got 2 yrs. before it went out. They sure are proud of their replacement parts.

Wimps, I just consider it a break from the humid months, of course all my doors in the house rattle...

Bread pans fit the registers better, besides, pie pans are for guys who can't aim!

I heat with wood, so a humidifier is a must.

Sounds like a cost effective solution. So do you pee in each pan before setting them in place, or do you just set a bunch of them out and keep them topped off?

we've moved a lot and one of the first things I do is put in a whole house humidifier. I've installed 3 in the last 6 years, and each one has been rather different due to the system setup. The last one was the best because i was able to figure out that the hvac unit's circuit board had a place to wire it in directly & avoid having to mess with the sail switch.

we also use room units. my home is filled with folks with very narrow comfort ranges. :-)

Thanks for reminding me just went and setup mine.

I've brought so many potted plants inside I need a DE-humidifier.

Anyone know where I can get one cheap?

your furnace should take care of de-humidifying your house ... Then again, it depends on what kind of "pot"ted plants your bringing into your house...

My furnace quit on me a year ago and I have yet to purchase a suitable replacement.

Now, before you say ,

my house is currently at 72 degrees F, and I'm comfortable, but I have no "furnace". I have a vent-free gas wall-heater and a simple fan that keeps my abode livable.
It's just damp in here because I don't have proper air circulation.

For my "potted" plants,

I have many, many snake plants, a few Shifferilla's (sp?), a couple of cacti, six corn plants, and 27 white oak tree starts.

It's a jungle in here.

Yeah, it is a jungle in there... You know what else grows well in the jungle???
