Sorry about that, Mike...I wouldn't have come back with such a serious response had I realized you were just joking...sometimes my "humor meter" is poorly calibrated...

It takes some time for the lending institutions to calibrate these expectations lower. 

I put a calibrated humidistat in so that they could see the effect of running the fan and leaving the window open a bit.An electric furnace will dry out the air, but this unit has electric baseboard heating which does not affect humidity.
