andrew and the dehumidifier incident

My house has no ventilation.

Shortly after I moved in, my dresser drawers became harder & harder to open. Water accumulated and dripped from one window. I got a Japanese dehumidifier which actually works [below]. Best I can figure, the little balls in the top of the box pull moisture through the top membrane somehow.



A few weeks ago, while changing my bed's sheets, I noticed some mold around the bed. The mattress had been flush against the wall.

Daiso was out of the dehumidifier boxes so I bought an expensive one. It's pulling gallons of water per day out of my house. It's shrinking the dresser drawers and now I can actually use it again. No real point to the story, I'm just amazed at how much water can be pulled from the air.

  • Oy, mold by your bed, not good. For being relatively small, your house has some character to it (not necessarily in a good way)...
