Well, this project was a bid success IMO. I hooked up my dehumidifer downstairs again the other day and turned it on to see how humid it was, and it read 60%. This is what I had it set to all summer long. Its also been quite wet lately (no huge downpours, just lots of light sprinkles keeping everything wet) so I know this is a worse than normal situation. Previously, without the dehumidifier it would pretty quickly get up to 80% humidity down there making it smell very musty and damp. The only big test left will be once spring rolls around. I think this will save me at least 1kWh/day in summer, plus not having to worry about cleaning up water downstairs.
