Tyvek retrofit question

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I have an older home (72 yrs old) that was originally stucco but now has aluminum siding. I will be pulling down the plaster and tile in my kitchen to insulate and drywall. Would it make sense to apply Tyvek against the 1×12 sheathing from the *inside* where it will be exposed?
