I like the idea of a humidex but I don't know if it will be powerful enough.... Oh choices...

Keri just to let you in on something here. may friend has over 1000 gallons in his house. and his humidity was sitting at 85-90% all the time windows were dripping like crazy i couldn't believe how damp it was in his house. He installed a Humid ex and with in 3 days the % was down to 35 % and man what a difference, just remember this machine works and but remember never go that fast the is should have been done over a course of 2 weeks not 3 days . so its does work. the model he has is rated for 2500 SQ Ft and he has 1000 up and a 1000 down and it was pretty fast sucking out the water. now its like so dry in there but nice.

Just remember to install it in the basement and insure that you have fresh pipe around 2" vringing in fresh air. but you have no furance you are lucky then..
