The problem with the windows was, during those couple weeks at -30 all the windows in the main floor living room, dining room, and kitchen developed a layer of ice around the casings and glass edges. Think of the layer of silicon youd ring your tub with, only around the glass and the step from the slider tracks to the casings, only the layer of ice was 3/4" thick. No condensation in the basement where the fishroom is, just these windows upstairs.

And for more fun, yesterday when it warmed up, all the casings along the ceilings started leaking and left puddles throughout the house in front of all the windows. Any drywall and insulation in contact with that is now gonna be soaked.

Bev, When they installed the windows they either didnt insulate inside the casings, or packed it in as much as they could and ended up with the same result. The cold is just seeping right through. If it was the tanks it would have completely frosted out the basement windows, which it never did.

Anybody thats been over, would you say this place is humid?

Builder, window installer, and warranty rep are here today, outta be fun.
