If it wern't for the desert varmits, I would like to live in the nothern part of Arizona.

Im in south Florida and the humidity has all the ****'s words you can type :)
If you can afford the electric, get what i'm looking into which is a thermostat with humidity control that kicks heat AND a/c on at same time. I have to call mauf. of my air handler and see if it can handle it. Humidistat it might be called. A/C dries the air, heat warms it back up. Your bill will be double.

It may be worth it, Edife..:)

Let us know if you get it and if it works....of course you won't need much heat down there.

This morning... it was in the low 40s out, wet outside due to a night's rain and nice and warm inside. But I was dragging (courtesy of the fatigue) ...

perhaps ... the cold humidity was to blame? I began to feel better later in the morning, the sun broke through the clouds.

Can't catch a break!

Niko:cool:

I believe you've got it, Nico..;)

I was talking to a woman who worked at a nursery in FL. And she said that they have *hard winters* sometimes. They get frosts, and you miht lose a couple plants. Last year, they had 3 hard frosts!

She does not get Ohio winters. I told her," Our winters can be so hard, you don't just lose plants, you can lose a driveway."

:D

"Saying *winter* in FL is like saying *beach* in Ohio. We have them, but uh.... It's just not the same," I said.


Sally, how about a dehumidifyer? Did I spell that right? Also, you might not mind the wee beasties if you knew how good you'd feel in AZ. I hate spiders and snakes, but I'll cope if it means feeling 10 yrs younger and being able to turn my head, lol.

PE - not so, here. Often the humidity is up when it's cold and my house runs on the damp side anyway. Old, stick, gas heated houses tend to do that.

you guys need one of these

Dehumidistat doesnt do what i said/hoped. I thought it would trip both ac and heat at same time but it doesnt. You can control humidity level with
1 -a/c but then temp will go too low cause its not summer, or
2 - dehumidifier that connects to ducts. It looks like a bullet heater (i want this bad).

The new thermostat gives me those 2 choices so until I get the dehumidifier - ick. Ive gone through 2 stand up ones in 5 yrs. Worth it though.

I was going to ask about this too. It rained Friday night and all day Saturday. I woke Sat. morning and knew it was going to be a bad day. I started out trying to unload the dishwasher and get it reloaded with Friday's dishes. Within an hour I was shakey on my feet and barely standing, and breathing hard, just walking back and forth in my huge (8 foot long) kitchen! I went back to bed, slept 3 hours and got up feeling a little better, but I didn't really do anything the rest of the day.

I've never had anything like that before and wondered if it was because of all the rain we were getting. On Sunday, it was clear and I felt almost fine.

Living near your caring daughter is as good as it gets. The landscape is secondary.

I would be in a heap of trouble if I didn't have my son and dad to help me here.
