Does anyone have a remedy?

Mike, I noted your kitty-litter idea and passed on it, because 1) I can't stand the smell of the stuff and 2)don't really want to wipe down 300-plus bottles and five racks of bins/shelves with litter. If I can find some that's odor-free, I may put it in the cellar in open boxes as "humidity sumps". That's not a bad idea at all. As far as the humidifier goes, touched on that up the thread a ways: would like to tackle both the summer temp problem and the year-round humidity problem with one well-designed installation. Looks like the cost is going to run $3000-$5000, so I'd rather not have any false starts. <BR>I appreciate any and all ideas; no slights intended. But speaking of unanswered questions, did you notice mine to you in your thread on Mourvedre? I'm thinking the retailer just plain screwed up in selling me the Cline for $8.99; can't explain the price difference any other way.
