We recently purchased an item that no self respecting midwesterner or south-easterner would ever consider purchasing (unless of course, you have sick kids).  Being both self respecting midwesterners and southerners, we would have never considered the need to add moisture to the air!  If we ever had such a thought back “home”, the walls would be dripping with condensation!  As it is, you need to develop gills to survive the humidity back there.  So, you would not want MORE humidity and you surely wouldn’t purchase a machine to add it!

Well, welcome to the Denver air.  Not only do you want more moisture in it, but you NEED it.  So, after a year of the dry air, we purchased a humidifier.  It has really made sleeping in the bedroom more comfortable.  It works very hard to get the humidity up to 36% at night. If  it gets to 45% we are lucky.  It takes about a gallon of water and 8 hours to get it there.  We only use it at night and during the next day the humidity drops again.  Oh well, I guess when in Rome…. well, not quite, but a humidifier has been a welcome addition out here in Colorado.
