Well, it's still cold out there! I finally shoveled my roof yesterday with a combination of using a roof rake and getting up there and shoveling. I didn't shovel the entire roof, just the first 5-6 feel along the gutters. It's good to have it done, but the snow is getting very high around the house which could present problems during the spring melt. More on that later.
To continue the whole house humidifier issue - they are necessary, but you need to make sure you are adjusting them daily in the winter. The biggest problem is that homeowners leave the setting too high so there is too much moisture in the air. The moisture then condenses on the windows, walls, and especially in the attic. Excessive moisture in a house will cause mold growth. Additionally, it will stain window finish and will ultimately damage the wood. Excessive moisture in the attic causes frost that when it melts, can rot the plywood. So, for your well-being and your home's structural well-being, please change your humidifier setting twice each day.
