A quick tip I was doing some pre winter house maintenance and I noticed my fresh air intake for the furnace was completely plugged with dirt and junk I cleaned it up and HOLY my humdity has dropped from 67% down to 50-47% it has taken about a week to get this low I did notice a drop after a few hours of cleaning the intake. So to sum it all up check your fresh air intakes it could save you alot of time wiping down windows

i just installed a regular bathroom fan and vented it outside, nwo if i notice the humidity is up i turn the fan on, it would be easy to wire it into a humidty switch, a few manufacturers make them for bathroom use so they turn the fan on automatically when you have a shower, they usually have a dial between 10-100% so you can set it where you want it to be.

Im getting one my Friend down the street rom me has over 1200 gal of water in fish tanks. His house was sitting at 80-85% humidity in his home, after installing it he ran the unit for 2 days and brought the air down to a wopping 30 %. BEWARE when using it thou you dont want to bring the air down to fast. what ever your house is sitting at with humid air says its 70 % only take it down 10% at a time.

My friend has problems of the walls cracking from the humid air and suckign it out over a course of a 2 day period. but they do work thou...
