[C38] dehumidifier

[Joseph Launie]

Steve,
     I also use a small portable heater thaT West marine sold as a 
dehumidifier. I also use some golden rods which are brass rods which 
heat up. This woks well in Santa Barbara and probably Oceanside as well 
but both places are essentially desert. The Pacific Northwest gets a tad 
more rain. Joe
