Mold growing on the new drywall we JUST textured - place getting to wet - damaging walls, doors and ceilings (and the ceiling above the pool was just textured this past summer right before our purchase)
We did spend 2k on AC/Dehumidifier just few months ago - works - but I had Mike turn off because it didn't seem to do much - a Andrew screwup... 2k down the toilet in my opinion.
We could put turbines to vent out the air, the same type we put at our "Fountain Attic" on Fountain Attic - but it is too cold to be doing that right now. I still have another turbine (free of course) and would lift the excess hot/wet air so that it doesn't damage the ceiling. I think we should still have steve do this once weather gets better.
The old owners use to put one of those industrial fans used to dry carpet - stick it in the window - but that was loud, ugly and simply blew out all that nice warm air outside. It wasn't energy efficient and frankly, didn't work all that well.
The solution I would push for, and something Candice brought up, is pool cover. I do believe that is the best alternative. An insulated cover for the spa - we might very well find one on offer up type location. Be great if we could find an insulated one for the pool as well, but unlikely. But just the act of covering the pool will prevent all that moisture from escaping. It needs to be a solution we can do quickly, daily. Will be a lot of extra work, covering it every night, but I don't see a more effective solution.
Candice - go ahead and work with Angelie to get quotes. Get a list of possible vendors - one of the first things we will need are dimensions - so candice, please update this ticket w/ the measurements. You can check Offer Up, FB market place, etc - for a used insulated spa cover ... Just keep in mind - whatever we deploy has to be something we can do quickly ... i don't want to be buying a basic pool cover that floats on top of the pool - they are a pain to deploy not to mention a kid could walk on top of it and drown.
