Adding home humidity

[indyjps]

Ive had the furnace type systems in several houses that were installed before I moved in. I have mixed reviews. I got some staining in the ceiling in one house and they never seemed to work well.
I use the add on, floor mount, free standing whatever you call them. I place them in the kitchen or on the tile in case they leak, which they never have.
you could always just piss in the corner, it'll evaporate.

I have the staining also. Actually, it's one of those angled ceilings similar to the angle of the roof.
Whether I use a ceiling fan or not, the humidity seems to collect at the high spot and then stains the top 3-12 inches of the wall.

Nah, it leaves a stain.
I'm in Central Ontario, Canada. The winters around here have been getting warmer, but we still have a few cold snaps before the season is over. When our sons were living at home, the lack of humidity wasn't a problem. With the whole household having showers there always seemed to be enough humidity in the air.
Now that there is just the wife and I, we occasionally pull out a small portable humidifier that sprays a very fine vapour/mist into the air. Condensation on the windows isn't much of a problem, they are all vinyl. Talk all you want about the beauty of wooden windows, but the fact remains "wood rots, vinyl doesn't".
