If I was anywhere close the young guy will come help out roofs are fun especially when it gets hot lol
 
got a question for you smart folks...the humidity in my building it near 100% and I'm trying to dry big fat flowers, I don't care to use a/c but am concerned about mold...any thoughts...
You could use a window A/C if you blocked off some of inside of the building with sumpin -- so you are not drying out the whole building. Mold is definitely in the future @100%RH

Dehumidifier
thanks for the response fellas, I'm gonna set the a/c on high for now to dry the air a bit, mebbe set the thermostat at 85 degrees for tonight...humidity outside tonight is 97% so it's like breathing thru a sponge...I've got to dig out the dehuey when I get home tomorrow...

As has been noted, we used a dehumidifier as the solution here, due to our ongoing high humidity.

You can increase air flow and improve evaporation, but at 97% humidity, where is it going to go without precipitation??

You can improve that by heating the air, as it will drop the percent humidity because hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air. Move the air with fans and evaporation will drive the moisture content higher, so venting some of it out, with heated makeup air will keep it from saturating.

A chilled coil anywhere in the room would of course dehumidify because water would be condensing and running off of it. That is pretty much how most dehumidifiers work.
 
Goooode morning sisters and brothers! 54F @ 76% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 58F. Columbia still at flood stage and more rains predicted Sat and Sun, but dry weather for the following week.

My neighbor and I finished the gate between our garages and declared it righteous. A thing of beauty and a joy for ever!

A nice luncheon with my old boss who is now 83 and in good physical shape except for being on a pacemaker and suffering from angina. None of the rest of the crew responded to my invite or to a follow up to make sure they got the first, so now I need to follow up and see how many of us are still alive.

I arrived home to find the red cedar raised bed that I ordered sitting in my driveway. No call or anything so that I was there to direct them to our backyard, soooo I loaded it on moving dollies and with my neighbor's assistance we rolled it as far as we could on the sidewalk and carried it the rest of the way. It is 10' X 4' X 10"H and made from 2X10 rough cut red cedar, so heavy enough to be clumsy.

After paying $20 a stick for red cedar 2X4's and $6 a stick for red cedar 5 1/2 X 5/8 X 80", it was still a bargain at $200 delivered and now I need to fill it with some good soil and get started on mah tamaters..................

Breakfast out with friends this morning at an old establishment in downtown Portland. An experiment as we have stayed away from downtown Portland of late because it is so depressing to see.
