Man, I hear you on the “improvements” coming back to bite. Airflow’s one of those things nobody warns you about until your house starts sweating in weird places. Folks think closing a vent just sends more heat where you want it, but all it really does is mess with the pressure and send moisture where it doesn’t belong. Seen closets grow more mold than a science fair project.
If you’re still fighting the sauna/igloo battle, might be worth checking if your ductwork’s balanced or if there’s a sneaky leak somewhere. Sometimes a little damper adjustment goes a long way, but sometimes you gotta call in the pros before your socks start sprouting mushrooms. Houses have a way of keeping us humble…and slightly damp.

I always thought shutting the vent in a room I barely use would save energy, but now I’m wondering if that’s what’s making the hallway feel muggy. Is there any way to fix uneven temps without messing up airflow?
