Re: Vapor Barriers Are a Good Thing, Right?
I had an issue with tyvek trapping moisture in the winter.As the vapor tried to leave the interior it hit the tyvek which was below freezing turning the vapor to ice. When it warmed up during the day enough to melt but the tyvek would not let it pass through in water form and it never got warm enough to form vapor so it soaked the osb. I noticed this first on the north walls.The homes had vinyl siding so I could unzip the panels. There was an inch of ice between the tyvek and osb which was black and swelled to 1 inch.Has anyone had similar problems?

The ZipWall sounds great it is not considered containment You still have to contain the room and have the people leave the premises while the work is being done.I here people in favor. What bothers me is they don't say how much extra they are willing to pay for this. I would like to work on there homes If they are more than willing to pay three or four times the labor to have the work done.How about it jmo2 are You willing to pay the x-tra and leave Your home while the work is done?
