Bob,
I have a dry feature on the mini-split in the garage that works very well. So I may program the new unit to keep it between 40 and 50. The problem with plugging a unit in and just letting it run, like a lot of guys do... IS.. anything below 40 starts to dry out all the car rubber. The optimum humidity for cars is 40 to 50. I would be afraid to set one on high and just let it go for days. I gotta get it figured out. There are weeks and weeks where I don't have to touch anything. Other times of course the humidity is WAY up. Maybe the unit you are talking about has a thermostat to set it up. Power is pretty cheap here. It was 3 or $400 a month in CA, only $142 a month here. Other months a little higher or lower. Not much though. 220V verses the 110V dehumidifier? I will do all the math.
Mark,
I will make sure to take that advice. I might just plywood one sheet up all the way around for starters. D

Are you tying into existing septic or separate system for barn?
