The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

For most uses 40-60% humidity if perfect.

As long as tools dont rust and mold doesnt grow its fine.

OK that sounds good, we have no mold growing and we only use the basement
for laundry and storage. I just didn't want to needlessly run the
dehumidifier any lower if I don't have to. The humidity level is at 60% +-
right now with the dehumidifer running in cycles rather than on constantly

Thanks
