Consumer Reports - Tip of the day
June 11th, 2008 by Ryan JohnstonFrom Consumer Reports:
Deploying a dehumidifier in damp areas of your home is an easy way to not only boost your comfort but also to prevent a number of problems, including sickness, mold and mildew growth, and damage to your home and its furnishings.
My own “FOBFU”—find out by fouling up—lesson illustrates why it’s smart to use a dehumidifier. I stored a bunch of camping equipment in my basement, which tended to be very humid. When I went to retrieve a sleeping bag for a camping trip, I found it ruined by the damp environment. I immediately went online to read our recent report on dehumidifiers. It turns out you can get a capable model for about $140 dollars—and perhaps even less if you combine it with a rebate or tax credit by buying an energy-efficient version.

Long time no posting 
We have not been posting for the past four weeks as we finally get the place ready to move in.
Everything is not fully completed yet, but we are compliant and authorized to go.
We have a moving van ready for Monday, February 4th 2007! We are looking for a couple more friends to help us. If you are free on Monday, please send me an email for more details.
New pictures to be posted tomorrow morning.
