Yesterday I performed the environmental inspection of the section of my attic that host the midbass horn. The section of the attic is well isolated from the rest of the attic. I have some temperature and humidity sensors in there, In addition I bought a very cool remote infrared thermometer that allow me to measure temperature on the different parts of the horn stating on the floor.

Like anybody else’s in New England my house is burden under at least foot of solid compressed snow – we had 42 inched during January and in 2 day another 15” will be coming. The snow on the roof is not just a snow but after a few days of melting it is solid block of ice and I have 9-10 feet long icycles. It is mess but I guess it is what it is in New England.  The alternative is to live in Florida and to have too many still alive republicans around…

So, I went to attic and inspected all the things around the horn. To my absolute satisfaction the space around the horn dose wonderfully. There is no dampness of any kind and humidity in there ~5-10% lower then at the rest of the attic. I did not open the back chambers of the horn. Next time I will go there I will do it and my intention is to install a remote reading sensor in one of the back chambers.
