To strip or not to strip?????

[gilligan]

im not well liked around here but you have got to put a vapor barrier (tyvek/tar paper) before the siding. if ya dont you WILL get the above mentioned problems.
the people who are SO against vinyl are just plain narrow minded. lets compare the big problem SEAMS. "i dont like the way they seam"
any house sided with wood HAS 3 times as many seams,butt joints.
ill bet any carpenter on this site that i can watertight a house with vinyl :faster and more efficiantly than anyone could possibly do w/ wood.
coming from the same bunch of ("individuals who cry about reel maint.) im thinking you guys are lacking intestinal fortitude as far as home improvements are concerned. so until you REALLY have an argument why dont ya just be quiet
