Interesting that "junk" is what the other person collects, isn't it?
Staying married in spite of renovations....or, in (t)his case, renovating in spite of being married.
Trapped in a room with Home and Garden television and a stack of ironing; the fridge in the family room, the contents of the cupboards heaped in the dining room, the new holes in the drywall
Maybe I've been spoiled by the Clean Sweep team who get it done in two days. There's no team of organizers behind me. No carpenters. Just one, very kind, very patient girlfriend who is doing her level best to keep me focussed on throwing stuff out.
Home and Garden television has replaced the beautiful skinny model on the glossies in ensuring my feelings of inadequacy remain deeply imbedded.
A NEAT episode showcased a musician who wasn't being musical because her apartment was cluttered. It made me want to cry. There but for the grace of God go I....not being artistical because of the clutter. But, of course, it's not the studio that's being fixed. It's the kitchen - the slave room.
The kitchen WILL look great with the new floor.

A dehumidifier is used to remove extra moisture from the air. It cools a hot and humid room by reducing the amount of moisture within the room. A dehumidifier consists of a number of hot and cold coils which are involved in the process of dehumidification.
The evaporation cycle of a dehumidifier works in the following way:
A built in fan draws air from the room over the cold coils of the dehumidifier. The saturation vapor of water decreases as the temperature decreases, causing the water in the air to condense, which then drips into a collecting bucket. The dry air then passes through the hot coils of the dehumidifier to attain the previous temperature.
Most dehumidifiers are able to be adapted to connect the drip output directly to your drain. Dehumidifiers may be priced solely on the size of the bucket which collects the water. Usually there are sensors which will detect when the bucket is full.
The usefulness of a dehumidifier depends on the amount of humidity and the distance you are from sea level. In areas near sea level, the humidity levels will be higher.
Water collected from any dehumidifier is not safe to drink. It is distilled water, as it does not contain minerals and other particulates that are removed in a true distillation process. However, a true distillation process will condense the steam of boiled water, and the boiling process will kill any microbes and fungi that may be present in the water beforehand. Since the surface coils in a dehumidifier are not kept to food-grade cleanliness, microbes and fungi can (and most likely do) exist in the collected water, which is why it is unsafe to drink. Furthermore, as the water may sit for quite some time in the collection bucket, it may be quite stale.
