I started installing my 3/3" prefinished hardwood when the humidity level in the home was 44%, now the level has dropped to 32%. I still have a small area in front of the main door and the two smaller bedrooms to finish. What concerns are there and suggestions on how to complete the job?

That is on the low side of the scale, Too low. Splitting and checking may be in the future of your floor.

Now the problem is, during the summer, and you feel you want to leave the windows open and it is 70% humidity your letting inside the home. YIKES!!!

I will be getting a whole house humidifier prior to starting installation again. I am trying to decide between the Aprilaire 600 or the Honeywell HE265B?

Ordered a Aprilaire MN 400,should be here tomorrow!Now to locate a installer in the area.
