I was going through some of that same "why am I sweating inside" business this summer, and I finally broke down and bought a dehumidifier. Once I got the relative humidity down to about 50%, not only did I stop sweating and feel more comfortable, my air conditioning stopped running all the time. Initially, it added to my electric bill, but once I figured out how to balance things, that improved. The comfort certainly has been worth it.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-10066955254563002012020-10-25T16:04:02.901-05:002020-10-25T16:04:02.901-05:00You've always got so much to do there!
