Hot and dry in summer then cold and dry in winter. Panhandle of Texas north of Amarillo. I’m going to see if I have issues with humidity before going with a dehumidifier. I’ve heard so many people talk about the heat they produce.Did all the work myself and used all the scrap materials I had on hand. If I had to guess total refurb cost me around 3,500. Not sure where you’re located but heat and humidity my biggest issues by far. A dehumidifier is an absolute necessity.
