Hey guys,
Wanted to share this with you. I wrote it on my Facebook page today. While written in a humorous slant, I'm DAMN thankful for the relief my humidifiers brought overnight. Worth a try if your indoor heat is causing you headache/sinus issues as well:
I<span style="font-weight: bold">t dawned on me over the weekend that I have been waking up with HORRIBLE headaches that hang around most all day- for the last 2-3 weeks!!. My face has been burning, which is of course infammed sinus' beneath the skin.
Heat pumps and all heat and air units dry out the air in our homes as they produce heat. This often leads to headaches, Sinus problems & pain and in some folk-even nose bleeds.
~~~~~~~Redneck wakes up with yet another killer headache....
"Oh Yeah!" Exclaims handsome forgetful balding Redneck. "I reckin I didn't put out my Humidifiers!!"
~~~~~~~~
I put out 7 humidifiers between the three main rooms I use over last weekends and I woke the next day with NO headache! (But I did use the big gun once- as described in the "PS." ! )
~~~~~~~~
"Garsh! I'm rite brite!" muses Redneck upon waking this morning.
~~~~~~~~
To make hum-didity in your'n home with Redneck Humidity makers:
1. Collect Vessels.
I use butter tubs, 2 liter bottles with the top half cut off, Tupperwares: Any pint to quart size container woks fine.
(for you bachelors!- let me know if you use a MAGNUM made out of a 5 gallon bucket and a beach towel!)
2. Collect "bridges."
I use my wooden & plastic, cooking spoons, skewers/kabobs, etc.
3. Collect Wicks.
I use cotton warsh cloths, bandannas, Socks -who mate dun run'd off, etc. 100% cotton is a good wicking fabric, but other fabrics can work so long as they are not hydrophobic.
Assembly:
1.Fill vessel 3/4 up with wad'r.
2. Bridge it!
3. Bend your cloth wick 'reckin into a horse shoe shape. Poke, stick, or job the ends down into the water, with the bridge holding the center high and "dry".
Veeeee-OLA! You have a redneck humdidity maker! Free!
The cotton "wicks" (soaks) the water up to it's highest point, where it is released (evaporates) into the air, putting moisture back into the air in your home.
Two for each room your in "occasionaly" is fine & 3-4 in rooms your in often makes an obvious difference.
Enjoy!
Tres
PS- Like me, if after weeks of dry air caused discomfort, you realize" DUH! I need an emergency dose of humidity!! You kin pull out THE BIG GUN baby!
Drag out your clothes dryer out a little ways from the wall. Detach the big 4 inch vent hose from the wall and point that sucker so it blasts out of the laundry room into the rest of the house. Run a load of wet clothes and watch the wind'r all through your'n house steam over. Humidity baby!!!! Once is enough creating instantaneous relief of what ale's you, and the little redneck humidifiers will keep enough moisture around from there plum into spring.</span>
