<p>[quote user="Hamltnblue"]</p> <p>Looks great.</p> <p>Is that space conditioned for summer and winter?</p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>This month is the end of the cycle of first seasons for me in this home. Right now, and all winter the crawl space has been the same temperature and humidity as the main living space. Winters are wet but not severe here on the Wet Coast so I only have to turn on the heaters a little every once in a while. You can see all the insulation used on the perimeter of the foundation walls here. The dehumidifier never goes on in the winter at all. And it does not become too dry. Good news, because I was concerned about layout decking expansion and contraction after using MDF (mistake) on the first layout.</p> <p>Summer is when the humiity rises in the crawl space and the dehumidifier kicks in every day to maintain the space in the same condition as the main living area. </p> <p>So far I am well pleased with the climate control methods.</p>
