One other thought I had:
Could I wall off and insulate a part of my basement and install a room air conditioner to cool off that room? I probably would need to run some sort of humidifier as well. The AC exhaust would go into the rest of the basement. Any thoughts on the viability of this? It would probably challenge my construction and technical skills.

Hello,
Partition off a portion of the basement. Drill two 3-4" diameter vent holes in the new room. Cover the holes with vent caps on the outside. On the inside, from one vent hole drop a 3-4" diameter pipe (dryer vent pipe) to within 2" of the floor.
Cold will be drawn into the vent with the pipe and warmer air will exit the vent with no pipe. It makes a circuit. Creates a pretty stable temperature. Mine stays at about 45F all winter.
Insulate and weatherstrip the door into the "cold room".
Later,
Tom
