Mine is in basement too. Have a dehumidifier going all summer long (could be because have fish tanks down there to. Plus son moved back in with his ferret and 90 gallon tank. We heat with outside wood furnace and have radiant heat and lines running on cellar ceiling which keeps upstairs and down toasty This spring painted walls and all new shelves and arrangement. Love the get away and stuff like ironing board and projects stay in waiting....
