My HVAC guy, David, just called to see how I'm liking the ultra-clean air inside my house and after I expressed my gratitude (again), I told him about the wetness underneath the vapor barriers, and he said that's *normal* - it's sweating/condensation and it can't hurt anything because it's under the plastic, i.e., that's what they're for (which I knew, but still didn't quite grasp apparently). So I am quite relieved. I'm going to get a dehumdifier anyway to protect what he just called an industrial-grade duct system. What an extraordinary service, and extraordinary man.

And you can bet I won't store any MA or bleach in my garage, either, where my car of course is along with my new toy, a Gary Fisher hybrid bike.
