Hi Tony, I guess what I am saying is that I DO live right smack in the middle of a Pacific Northwest Temperate Rain Forest (a highly endangered one, at that), so yes, about 8 months of the year it is very damp. I use a dehumidifier to keep the moisture down. One advantage is we get very little static, and therefore not much dust sticking to film, ;-)
