I am replacing brainstorm siding on a old summer camp and wondering what i should use for a barrier between the sheathing and siding.Is tar paper okay or are there any products made for this application.There was an original paper type barrier there that didnt hold up very well.If there is new products out there where can i purchase them?

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

Ed,
Please,
Help further my education. What is brainstorm siding?
I'm dying to know whether it is a typo or a type or typical of a locale asa name brand?

With friends like Google, who needs enemies? Any idea how much reading I had to do about various brainstorms folks have had?
" White Pine Camp—Paul Smiths, NY
White Pine Camp was built by Archibald White in 1910. Its architecture differed from other rustic camps with its asymmetrical, pre-modern buildings with soaring rooflines and rough-milled siding that became known in the Adirondacks as "brainstorm siding." "

Gee, I'm sorry. When I Googled for "brainstorm siding" in quotes, I got four hits, all on topic. If you'd like, I'll make it a point to include my search strings in the wise guy messages I post. I used to do that, but never got the impression it was doing anybody any good.

I didn't use the quotation marks in my search string. I should have known better.
I'm sure there are plenty of times that I use local colloquiallisms that need definition too.
Now, that would make for an interesting thread. Look for it soon....
