It does sound like your humi is leaking pretty badly. If you're losing an ounce of water weekly it's definately not sealing well.
Try putting your whole shootin' match (humi and all) in a one gallon sealed freezer bag.
If that alleviates the recharging problem then you can blame it on a leaky humi.
In a lot of instances, using a freezer bag for a humi is a lot better than the humi itself.
What may also be happening is that it's so dry in your home that the humi simply cannot get seasoned. Once it seasons the wood may swell and create a nice, tight seal. By putting the humi and all in the freezer bag, it'll allow the humi to bask in moisture inside and out and may allow it to pick up the water it needs to seal.

I will def give this a try. Thanks Scott
