humidity is back on the scale

Last weekend, we used the sump pump to empty the tub (in the crawl space) which collects water from the dehumidifier 24 hours/day. While I was down there in the crawl space, I noticed that the dehumidifier indicated that the humidity was 80%. Up 'til that time, all it ever said was "Hi" - meaning that the humidity was off the scale. But, that was apparently only a transient indication, since it went back to "Hi" and seemed like that was where it was going to stay.

But today, I took a peek and the dehumidifier said "80%" steadily - so I guess we're really getting that crawl space dried out. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it stays that way. It'll take at least a complete year's worth of seasons before we can tell how the weather is going to change down there.
