Thanks for the info. You promted me to use some search terms I hadn't considered.

Seems temp should be steady year round (tricky in Maine) between 40 and 65 degrees  with humidity over 50

Thanks for the link esther. Cool. I am going to  blow up the pic and read that more. Excellent.

hey ockham,
Here in Maine there is a building tradition called "Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn."
Imagine three quares built like a snowman, each slighly smaller as they go back, but not centered, instead each staggered like steps. I have a garage instead of the barn. The driveway that runs along side such houses opens to what is called a "Door Yard", where most typical access is.

My basements are all connected, but you can see where they broke through to each one. It seems the additions were added quite quickly. The connection of each building is sort on interesting. I'll post some pics. It's trippy. I have three attics too; one is accesses by a genuine sliding panel in a wall.

The house, registered as "Stowe House", occupied by local pastor Charles Stowe, son of american author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Restoringthe house has been fun with lots of fun discoveries and mysteries, like hollow walls with walled-up passages and bookcases behind the plaster.
