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.

echobase

It's all well and good to name your wifi network something sassy until your dad comes over and tries to set up his iphone. Then he'll ask 'echobase'? what's that?

"um...well it's the rebel base on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back"

...

maybe I'll just rename it to "Andrew's House"
