    Indoor Pool - Dehumidification System

    Just received my first estimate, $50k. Apparently my mechanical room is too small for the Desert Aire system they said I needed so they'd need to build an outbuilding for the equipment and run duct work to my pool room. They're working on a proposal for installing multiple in-wall...
