This shed doesn't have electricity. Even if I ran an extension cord 
across the front lawn (or buried a branch line from the house), I 
don't think I'd try running a dehumidifier in an un-insulated space 
(equivalent to dehumidifying the great outdoors). These pianos belong 
to me, and they are haul-aways. They would do no worse than the piano 
I take care of, belonging to summer music programs and living 
throughout the year in unweatherized buildings. I just wanted to 
deflect the ground humidity.
