Just venting...

Over the summer I ripped out a large 3 pane window with a janky old window AC unit in it, framed openings for a pass thru ac unit and smaller window, sealed it up and re-installed the siding. When it got to heating season I put faced insulation in. Went to install drywall today and noticed a little dampness. Pulled the insulation out and the inside face of the plywood is all wet. Condensation/frost must have formed because I didn't put plastic over it. Stupid! I know better! This is under the new AC unit. Can't hardly be a leak because the AC is tight to the soffit. Now a couple of days to dry and kill the little bit of mildew... Checking moisture with my moisture meter.
