Just a quick question/comment... Isn't that a little too humid? I've read and been told that you should not have consistent humidity in your home more than 50% as thats when you get mold and other nasties growing. Or does the generally accepted level of humidity vary with geographical location?

A home inspector here (Canada) told me that during the winter, your relative humidity should be between 35-45%. Dry enough not to cause mold and moisture issues, and "wet" enough that your skin doesn't crack and fall off. ;-)
