Just ordered a Taylor UPDATE WITH PICS on pg 6!

Thanks!  We lucked out and got a really nice full bed set as a wedding gift.  I love the colors in it. 

I have purchased a hygrometer and I'm calibrating it as I type this.  Hopefully it's not a piece of crap.

Hopefully it's not a piece of crap.  

I'm not sure there is such a thing. The electronics have moved forward quite a bit with that technology, and even inexpensive sensors are pretty accurate. Hell, they're even selling super-accurate combination accelerometer/gyroscope chips in the $.70 cent range. That sort of thing used to be pretty much only in the aviation/military domain, where money wasn't ever an object so such instruments in the multi-thousand dollar range were typical.

I have a distributed wireless temperature/humidity metering system in/around the house here, and the individual sensors with displays are only $20/ea.

Sensors themselves have displays, and the base unit can see 4 sensors. Helps with zone control.

Edit: In the process of looking for that picture, I see there are even less expensive units available that do the same thing. For instance, this part...

Is only $12 at Amazon. My only caveat would be that unless you're just curious, if you don't have a way of changing the humidity, the knowledge of what the humidity is will only drive you nuts.

I'm using a cigar hygrometer, and in doing the research on getting a good one, some reviews said that the Little Havana one was so bad that it registered 35% when it was salt-tested, and there was no way to calibrate it.  That sounds like a piece of crap to me.  :laughing7:

I'm surprised, but I guess I'd have to agree with that. I guess no matter how easy it is to make something good, somebody will figure out a way to make it bad.
