IMHO…….I’d NEVERRRRRRRRRRR lock my HOME in “PLASTIC”…..Sooooooooooooo sorreeeeeeeeeee my broters and sisters. Tyvek in my soul is death to good families if you consider what your locking in……If you have it “All” together in a perfect enviorment …….well…coolllllllLets lock N Load my brothers an sisters butttttttttt..Just think about this one…Lets take a huge lock tight baggie alongside all the wonderful inventions of insulating our cribs and cover it in a sort of condom (get my drift my  friends) ( the suppliers are some like Dow that gave us wonderful cleaning products we still (except me use today,,,,They also are the company that came up with napolm……ok ok       sorry to take you all away from an easy thread ya’ll…. what was the question again?   House wrap.(or unsided houses).oh yeh…..Ok so wrap your entire house and feel warm……….think about that and all kinda things from the big companies that produce AND EARN…………well…. Home Depot and Lowes are on the lowwwwwww end of the totem pole that yer all screamin about………. in our and our kids world y’all think about a way bigger TODAY pix…..Kinda bettin theyre there to throw yer asses off the real issue HD and Lowes alongside Dow,etc etc,,,,,,call me paronoid but c’mon y’all………….the air we breath…………..Sorry Jimmy Carter (you rock my broter,,youalway have in an unconventional yeee ha society(….Youve been put down way too much and Bill?,,,,,well….Why couldnt ya wait for the BJ?……Reckon cause yer alive…….And as fer

    Andy............I agree with you (ain't that something) My old house breathes REAL good and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I was building in Ak (80's) people were into really tight houses and all they were doing was making themselves sick. Windows up in the bedroom winter or summer, wear a hat when it's really cold. Love fresh air.

    There are fast carpenters who care..... there are slow carpenters who care more.....there are half fast carpenters who could care less......

    Off topic and with the deepest respect. If you throw a few breaks in your text, by hitting the Enter key, it would be much easier to read. IMHO large blocks of text are hard to read on a computer. Lines start to drift together.

    As for the subject? Tar paper is OK and has a long history of satisfactory performance. Tyvec has less history and many dyed-in-the-wool carpenters are slow to change. Perhaps this is justified. Dunno.

    I will have to do some research before I form a firm opinion.
