I’m putting up 8″ beveled cedar siding over osb sheathing on a small addition. A buddy recommended putting roofing felt over the osb before I put up the siding. The rest of the house has the siding directly over the sheathing. Do I really need the felt as a vapor barrier or is it more important to let it breathe? Any suggestions?
