I’m building a house that will be totally sheathed in OSB plywood and then covered with Hardi-Plank Fiber-Cement lap siding. I live in East Texas; and it’s hot and humid here. Should I use Tyvec, as a *building paper* as the manufacturer suggests, underneath the Hardi-Plank to keep moisture from rotting the plywood? (We have kids for air exchanges). Thanks.
