2. How many dehumidifiers does it take...
...to screw in a light bulb? (well, you said anything.)

4. Dehumidifiers don’t screw light bulbs
they screw your back.

5. what exactly needed dehumidification?
that must have been a rather massive dehumidifier for you to bust your back lifting it!

10. Last weekend I foolishly cleaned the carpet.
This morning I noticed they were still damp and remembered the old dehumidifier that we haven’t used in 15 years in the garage (they might make them lighter these days). I knew it was too heavy to lift safely but did it anyway.

This story is a cautionary tale; it is better to live with dirty carpets. Cleaning is too dangerous for amateurs

You can always go with the college solution and use Febreze on the carpets when they start smelling ass-terrible...

9. Is ice better than heat?
I took a bath in Epson salt and am now flat on my back with a heating pad and the laptop propped on my knees.

7. Have you ever
put a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room and let them fight it out? :-)
