@Benji @JonKramer Yes, that is the natural humidity if you live in a wind tunnel. At the minimum have a steamer on at night, or you are a covid magnet. We, in Canada, usually have sealed windows. In fact, the new super houses need an energy air exchanger to stop the windows from raining.

@hasmis @JonKramer I deleted my post as I understood your point mid-way. :) need good windows/ insulation to control indoor humidity, otherwise the moisture content (vapor) will be the same as outside and produce drier air inside.

@Benji @JonKramer For the old windows, I used to use that 3M shrink plastic over the frames. Then you can just peel it away in the Spring.

@Benji @JonKramer You won't able to buy any of this in the US right now. :)

@Benji @JonKramer Ok, we'll just laugh at you when you want a glass of water. :)

@hasmis @JonKramer lmao:ablobjoy: Yes that is for sure. Here we’re about to burn and wither, while the rest is drowning and sucking snow cones.

@Benji @JonKramer Get the huge generic rolls and tape. Crack open a window in the furnace room. The chimney effect puts in a big pressure difference.

@hasmis @Benji way ahead of you. Got a huge roll of 3 mil plastic, and thousands of staples for my staple gun. And 6 cans of spray foam.

@hasmis @Benji , I spent a day adding that to windows Wednesday. I didn't get them all before I ran out, but it sure helped.
