high humidity vinyl storage options

Hi gang,

I'm moving to GA from MA, and while I'm looking forward to getting away from the dryness here, I'm a little concerned with my new reversal to moistness. I'm sure that the components can be kept happy, no more static, etc. What about the vinyl? How can I best avoid mildew? I've got >2000 LPs and half of them are in plastic sleeves. They're on wood shelves.

The house is invisible from satellite:

See that plot of trees on Stone Street? (heh) There's a ranch house in there and I'll be living in it. Frank Lloyd Wright would had like it, I think. It's very open and not in conflict with the vegetation. So, controling the RH of my home is not (yet) feasible. It has heat and A/C, but most of the year it's just wide open to the air outside.

I could have my LPs boxed up and stored in my office at the school, but that seems ridiculous. They should be with me at home. How, best should I store them? I can't modify the house unless I decide to buy. For a few months, at least, I'll just rent.

How about a dehumidifier for the room? - FrankC 10:47:28 05/16/07 (1)

floor plan is too open, no way to isolate one room (nt) - steven13 11:09:02 05/16/07 (0)
