Alright NES braintrust, I need some ideas on controlling the humidity in my safe. It's in the basement bolted down, and I have no other location to move it to - so that's not an option. Also, the room that it's in doesn't have an easy way to plug in a goldenrod so that's also sorta out. Safe is a Winchester 36 from TS and there's about an inch between it and the cement basement wall (below grade). During the winter I had no issue with keeping the humidity between 30-40%, but since the weather has changed, it's now hitting mid-high 60% and that's not frigging good. I'm a bit lost here - I have 3 large Damp-rid units in it, one bucket style, and two others rechargeable plug ins. They are all fresh, and the plug in models have only been recharged twice - beads indicate no moisture in them. Any ideas? I can't imagine how the humidity is rising so much when I add more and more large dessicant bins. Today when I checked it was up to 68% and I'm starting to panic.
