So we recently moved into a different house. it is way bigger than our last place which means I get a big man cave in the basement which is finished. It always feels cool down there and though I thought I might need to get a dehumidifier I didn't realize till last week just how much we needed one. I have a nice large deer mount on the wall. I'm from Illinois and killed a big buck once upon a time. I got it hung up just before we left on vacation. When we got back I was in the man cave unpacking some stuff and noticed a drop of water on the floor below my deer. As I stood there looking at it I noticed some more water at the base of the wall. I felt my deer and it was wet from the base to the snout and moisture was actually dripping out of the snout. To which my wife replied that it was trying to come back to life. I wanted to be sure that I hadn't hit a pipe so I knocked some holes in the wall and felt around, but the wall is in a place where there shouldn't be any pipes, but better safe than sorry. No pipes as I suspected, the deer however was acting like a dehumidifier and drawing moisture. Needless to say I got the deer fully dry and have 2 dehumidifiers running in the basement. Got to protect the goods, as my pipes, cellar, xbox etc is all down there.
