Hello
In the winter (-30C outside, 5 people inside) I had so much condensation on the vent above the bedroom bed: it looked like someone peed the bed.
I thought it was a crack, but after observing it for a long time I decided it's definitely condensation. The same happens in the kitchen, but perhaps it's less obvious because that's just dripping on the floor.
If I understand this correctly, here's the only way to solve this problem right:
Does that sound reasonable? Has anyone tried it? My only worry is that the tape will peel off. Insulation is quite light, but I don't want to use something crazy like tuck tape which will come off with some of the ceiling when I remove it for the summer.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand this correctly, here's the only way to solve this problem right:
- Fill the cavity under the vent with as much insulation as will fit into it.
- Thoroughly tape a sheet of plastic under the insulation, on the inside.
