Swamp_Yankee Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Had the day off today and did a lot of cleaning out. Pulled stuff out of the basement, closets, the attic, etc...mold and mildew everywhere. Granted, we don't have central air, so that is part of it, but for God's sake, I feel like I live in a 3rd world tropical hellhole anymore. We can't get more than five days without rain, and in between the humidity is 90%! Every time I've gotten on the tractor this year I've either made ruts or tore up the ground so bad I had to rake it out and throw grass seed. A big part of the reason western civilization conquered the world in the 1500-1600s was because we were never ravaged by all of the nasty diseases that the warmer and wetter parts of the world did. I hope we get good frost before I come down with dengue fever... At the very least I'm going to be investing in a whole-house dehumidifier. not on the rug, Pathman, Dogface and 2 others 1 1 2 1 I live back in the woods you see My woman and the kids and the dogs and me I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive and a country boy can survive
Tarhunt Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 It's screwed up my work schedule since April. "The Nation Which Forgets Its Defenders, Will Itself Be Forgotten".
Nomad Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Yeah got to keep that moisture out of the house. We have central air but I run a dehumidifier in the basement all summer Edited October 9, 2018 by Nomad jerseyhunter, not on the rug and Merkel 3
3Blade Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 "Had it" would be an understatement! I am a masonry contractor and have lost too many days this season to it.
mmfan36 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Im at the end of my rope also.just a dreary weekend, cant wait ill the cold comes next weekend John B 1
JHbowhunter Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I been tired of it. I keep saying to folks, we have not had a single day this year, with no clouds, and I cannot remember last time we went even three days without precipitation. I imagine this is what Seattle is like - no thanks. That being said - this is better than a drought.

Nomad Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Definitely better than drought, plenty of water in the wells. Bucksnbows 1
gobblergetter Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I too have run a dehumidifier in the basement all summer but still had some mold issues for the first time ever.
jerseyhunter Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Have central air but I'm dying to make some pot roast, stew , soup anything that goes along with fall and winter. But I'll be damned to heat the house with the oven just to off set the heat with the AC. All this heat and rain can't even do yard work . Njpddet 1
Live to Hunt Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I don’t mind it. Did have to clean the outside of house twice this year because of mold but is what it is. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

If your well goes dry during a drought in NJ its probably too shallow to be drinking from anyway.

I'll be outside having a beer by the firepit. I live back in the woods you see My woman and the kids and the dogs and me I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive and a country boy can survive

Jim_ Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I'm WAY sick of it. This had to be a record setting summer for dewpoints in NJ.
