Hello, there has been seemingly endless discussions on this issue but after looking around I was unable to find a thread dedicated to maximizing evidence and minimizing words. I have just worked on two different houses on Cape Cod and they are two miles apart, have the same type of Cedar shingles and the only noticeable difference is one has Tyvek and the other Tar Paper.
The Tyvek was installed 7 years ago and it has already begun to disintegrate and the nails are rusting out.
The tar paper was installed 22 years ago and has good integrity with minimal rust on the fasteners.
I do have pics of both that I will post but unfortunately am still learning how to resize pics to get them in line with the maximum attachment sizes.
So if anyone has pics of Tyvek or tar paper behind cedar siding (any kind of Cedar) please post them so we can let them speak for themselves. Just state climate/location, type of siding, and date of installation. As soon I get my pics resized will post them up.
Thanks!
