8|1|Simple, cheap way to make something that may temporarily help|ForrestLayne|wechuckwood@gmail.com|14:08:27|01/17/2012|
make your own dehumidifier..you can make several and put in different rooms of your home. Might be worth a try!
http://www.ehow.com/way_6202072_homemade-dehumidifier.html
"Charcoal
To make your own dehumidifier, you will need a large, clean can (a large coffee can will work) with a lid and some charcoal briquettes. Charcoal will absorb moisture from the air.
Punch holes in the sides of the coffee can, as well as in the lid, with a small screwdriver or ice pick. Place charcoal in the can and put the lid on. Place in the areas of your house that get the most humidity, such as bathrooms, basements, closets, attics or sun rooms.
You will need to replace the charcoal in the can every few months to keep your homemade dehumidifier working properly."
9|2|WHO SAID YOU NEED A DEHUMIDFiER?|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|18:18:09|01/17/2012|
Usually in the winter time, you need a humidfer to ADD more moisture to the warmer air and the dry air coming fromt the heating system. These can be bought for under $20.
The inside air in already too dry in the winter time. It is during the summer that you need a dehumidifer. 10|3|I recall you asking for a cheap dehumdifier on another post|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|18:46:11|01/17/2012|
The reason was moisture was forming on your windows. That is normal, in winter, for people who do not have storm windows.
To make a cheap storm window, buy some clear, heavy plastic, cut slightly bigger than your window, and tape it to the frame. It will not lokk nice, but will do the trick. Roll them up in the spring and reuse next winter. This will also reduce your heating bill. The money you will spend on anunneeded dehumdifer, you can buy lots of plastic and tape.
One by one, you can replace these with vinyl inside a frame, to make it look nicer. 11|4|Also, dehumdifer will not run in the winter.|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|18:51:52|01/17/2012|
Because the air inside is already too dry. 13|5|We run one all year long.....|Quietwaters|Quietwaters39@hotmail.com|19:27:02|01/17/2012|
keeps the dampness away in the winter months, I have a couple closets that deal with mold, when the walls get cold. Running one keeps away mold issues.

My house sits on land that is really wet water drippings off behind it due to a coal mines behind us that has been closed for over 20 yrs we contacted the ky dept of mines reclamation and they said we are in line for help but they already told us they would be limited on what they could do and we would be years in getting help i tried to get them to speed it up but the lawyer i contacted whom i do trust told me it was useless :( i tried plastic on the windows that makes them sweat more their mold in the top of my closets and behind all my furniture...parts of my walls has melted because the moisture has ruined the sheet rock we live in a mobile home we have a moisture barrier but nothing is working the dr is one who asked me about our living conditions and when i mentioned the mold etc he told me to get a dehumidifier to remove the excess moisture.

12|1|I just picked up a Warm Steam Vaporizer by Vicks at Walmart for under $20--uses about a gallon of tap water.|SandyC|sacoates1@msn.com|19:22:16|01/17/2012|
Had bronchittus (SP?!?) the week after Christmas...Physician's Assistant told me to boil water and breath in the steam for a few minutes if I didn't want to get a vaporizer. There are packets of Vicks stuff you can put in it but I don't--just use the steam. I run it only when I sleep as I'm gone during the day. When I was home with bronchittus, I ran it around the clock, all day and all night, refilling. Certainly cheap enough.

If too much moisture from high humidity levels is the problem, yes, you will want a dehumidifier to help reduce that moisture as it makes it prime for mold growth, & that's not good. You've gotten some good, inexpensive suggestions from others - putting charcoal in a can w/holes; covering your windows w/a heavy plastic. It's not that unusual to get a little bit of moisture on the inside bottom of the window glass in winter, & this can easily be wiped dry w/a towel. If the moisture has gotten on the frame around the window & is causing blackish mold on that or elsewhere, I recommend a mix of 1/4 C. bleach to 1 gal. of water & wipe off the mold w/the bleach water mix. Wear a pair of kitchen cleaning gloves if you have some so as not to irritate your hands. Otherwise, rinse your hands off w/white vinegar after using the bleach water.
In winter mos., the air outside is usually cooler & drier. If that's the case in your area, you can also try opening a door or window for an hour or so each day to let in some of the fresh, dry & cooler air.
If the air inside your home is too dry due to low humidity levels, you can get a warm steam vaporizor for about $15 at Dollar General, or about $20 at Walmart, & run that to help bring your humidity level up. I prefer the warm steam to the cool mist vaporizors/humidifiers as the cool mist ones make the air in your house cool, & I don't like that in winter. Inside humidity levels should be around 50-55%. When lower than that, you're going to begin experiencing dry nose/throat (especially when sleeping), static electricity in your hair/clothes & mean "snappers" from the carpet or when you touch something like a light switch, phone, water faucet, etc. Dry air in winter contributes to more colds, sore throats, the flu bug & sinus problems. Drinking more water (warm water is preferable) in winter will also help keep your nose/throat moist, not to mention your skin & hair.
Other inexpensive ways to reduce the dryness is to place small coffee cans or other containers filled w/water by your heat registers, boiling a big kettle w/water on the stove a couple times a day or using hot water from the shower to add moist steam to the air. If placing containers of water by your heat registers, rinse & re-fill w/clean water at least once a week. Elect. heat, next to wood heat, is the driest type of heat. If you have elect. heat, use caution when using the water containers if you have pets or small children so the water containers don't get bumped & spilled on the registers, & be sure to sop up & dry thoroughly any water that might get spilled on the floor otherwise so mold doesn't develop. If you burn wood for heat, keeping a big kettle of water on top of the woodstove helps.
These are tips I've learned over the years so I hope some of my suggestions will help a little bit. :)

16|3|If it's moisture from the run-off, & since it's posing a health issue, maybe check w/your Health & Human Services Dept. & see if they can help you purchase a dehumidifier. Or could you ask your dr. if he knows of any place you could get help to purchase one?|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|22:20:05|01/17/2012|
I know there are programs out there that will help furnish an air conditioner unit to elderly, disabled &/or low-income people who can't otherwise afford one, but need one for health reasons, during the hot/humid summer mos. At least there used to be. Maybe there's a program out there to help w/dehumidifiers.
