  Attic condensation Leak exhaust duct

I agree with Murf. By the sounds of it you have good cross ventilation which is why you're getting condensation. Just to be sure, verify that the outside air temp is the same or very close to the attic air--the roof structure is only meant to keep the elements off the house not provide insulation or keep heat in or out.

A friend had a new home built that had 2" of ice on the inside of the roof sheathing and less in other places. His dryer vent and bath vents exited into that are where ice was thickest. Mold was forming too from past years and the sheathing was sagging.

A 2500sq ft home with only three roof vents and no soffit vents. Long story short the builder tripled the number of vents and the problem went away. Imagine that.

Dennis when we have can lights in an attic we build a box around it about 18" sq made of 2x6 then loosely cover with insulation. Just for safety in casesome one puts a too hot of bulb in the fixture.

Kenny that vent pipe should exhaust into a roof vent or the air will still condense in the attic like I mentioned earlier. Insulating the pipe does as you say help.

And that puddling on thr seat thing---yer supposta lift the seat.

Speaking of toilets, didn't you tell me that one time your bathroom caught fire? But...luckily you put it out before it got the to house. Lol

Kenny I know yer used to breathing a lot of hot air-- ahem--, but cold air does have moisture in it just like hot air.

Right now it is 36 out and the humidity level is 89%. Last week here it was in the single digits and the humidity level was 99%.

You may be thinking of air density. But even then cold air is much, much denser. But that isn't related to moisture content.
