I love having a building contractor for a father-in-law.
- Don’t get me wrong, I get along with my own father perfectly, but he’s more artistic and that’s the extent to which he works with his hands.
He was always a fantastic person to aid you when doing school projects that required any sort of creativity or crafting. But if I want to know how to drain a water heater or install fiberglass insulation, I’ll call my father-in-law instead of my own father. Thankfully my Dad doesn’t take any offense to my friendship with my father-in-law, and I appreciate that. My wife wants to see her dad as often as possible these days because of the degree to which he wasn’t around when she was a lot younger. I’m happy to invite him to our home on a weekly basis. He was telling us the other day about the ideal humidity levels for indoor spaces. Generally speaking, most residences should try to stay between 30% and 50% humidity. Going higher than 50% humidity can lead to mold problems while going below 30% can contribute to dry skin, nose bleeds, and dry coughing. That’s why my father-in-law was giving us a humidity meter for our house so we can monitor the indoor moisture levels. After learning that our humidity is just above 50%, we decided to purchase a dehumidifier to run in tandem with the central air conditioner. As long as we can get the humidity level to drop below 45%, I will be happy with the purchase of the expensive dehumidifier. They’re going up in price as time goes on, making them more expensive every single time I need a new one.
