I can't explain the anguish this gives me. Anyone have luck stripping the design off completely so you can only see the stainless steel?

HVAC duct condensation seeping through ceiling

This is the second summer we've had our HVAC ducts sweat through the ceiling of our family room. (We opened up the drywall last year to confirm, not yet this year but know it's the same issue). Hoping the Internet is better at diagnosing than the technicians we've met.

Some context...

- It's only happening (as far as we know) in our downstairs family room.

- We're in the Midwest where the last two summers have been very hot and humid

- The house is kept at around 72 degrees. It runs humid (again, don't have a solid reason why) so we have a dehumidifier in the crawl and one inside the the house.

- We have had our AC unit and furnace inspected by multiple companies

- Last year the diagnosis was the AC unit was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Whether that actually did the trick or if it was a coincidence is unknown.

- This year after the first sign of drywall damage, someone called out the dehumidifier in our crawl space was off and the filter was dirty so we fixed that. But now a month later, another bubble popped up.

- House is pretty big, about 3500 sqft. The room this is happening in is part of an addition (from who knows when). Not sure the history of the duct work as the house has been rehabbed multiple times before us but the AC unit and furnace are fairly new, prob under 8 years.

Halp!

My toddler's shirt came out of the laundry covered in what looks like mold??

Safe to say, it did not go into the laundry basket looking like this. I suppose it could have been sitting in a damp/dirty laundry basket for a day or two but nothing out of the ordinary...

Am I miss-IDing??

Samsung can't even hang as a garage fridge

The "fanciest" yet worst garage fridge ever...?

We had this Samsung fridge in our kitchen for five years. Kept having issues with condensation and ice dams so we replaced it and moved to the garage for drinks. We hoped that by disconnecting from the water supply, it would alleviate some of the issues but now it's running warm.

My husband thinks it's because it is placed too close to the garage door (though we try to keep closed). Do we think that's the case? Is it something else? A simple fix or do we just toss it?

Support me support my monstera??

She was a side of the road find (blessed). She's been free range in this pot for a few months and kind of flopped over towards the floor. I tried adding this support but I don't think it's really doing anything with the kinked branches.

Also is this actually three plants?

Many thanks in advance!
