Utah - I wasn't thinking in terms of concrete! I guess that doesn't get any easier to dig when it's not frozen, huh?
As far as humidification, I was thinking letting the flusg water sun onto the floor, where it will evaporate, not through any device.
I also forgot the "collected rainwater" option.
Jerry's idea about the temporary hose-run opens up a lot of possibilities. At least that way it won't freeze on you.
I did think of something that might help: Once upon a time, I constructed my benches out of bread flats sitting on top of 55-gallon drums I had painted black and filled with water. (Drums acquired from the local car wash for free) Solar energy heated the water sufficiently that is saved me a bundle on running my primary heater, and in your case, if you're able to use drums as your bench supports, you can likely get a lot more in the GH, hence more water storage - a double benefit.
