“ Since we don’t have much humidity I don’t know if this has to be done here.”

Good point, it probably makes it a lot less critical.

Sorry, but lower humidity makes absolutely all the difference in the world to wood.

Parents moved from Illinois to Central Colorado back in the '60s with a whole houseful of Mom's treasured furniture. I think Dad was re gluing chair legs and drawers that had lost moisture and shrunk for ten years (runnin' 'em 8000 ft up the mountain didn't help either) and some of those old pieces are still getting stuck back together on occasion.

Also, CB on the topic of storing bean coffee....best to vacuum pack the beans and store at room temp. Freezing just dries all the oil outta the beans which JMHO kills the taste altogether. (I seem to recall some Instant Coffee that was real proud of being "Freeze Dried". Tasted to me like boiled dirt, what little I'd choke down.)
