 For the time being I will try the dehumidifier/direct exhaust first and if I can't keep my humidity down then I will need to go with a unit more appropriate.
 
 Anyone have any suggestions for a good dehumidifier? (minimum 70 pints), that is energy efficient and dependable (I would imagine it will be running more often the not).
 
 Thanks guys/gals
 |  You should look at an hrv rather than a dehumidifier as they do cost a fair bit  more to run than the hrv. I have tried the dehumid route and I'm going hrv as it will pay for itself quicker. Nice build by the way

 Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
