Err, that's WARM and HUMID.... Now we can get hot and humid in summer
(usually doesn't last for long), but I would definitely call 96/80 HOT
AND HUMID.

How do you keep the wood from doing funny things?  I have an
acquaintance that restores antiques (museum quality stuff) in Houston,
and still don't understand how he does it.  He says that he shrink wraps
the piece first, in the place he is picking it up, takes it to his shop
(air conditioned throughout), unwraps, then again shrink wraps when he
returns it, just to be on the safe side.  As he says the hour or so
moving it can cause things to move around, even on 100-200 year old
furniture.
