Seems like I have three options on residing my house. I am pulling off the 12" lap siding. One option is to put the lap siding (cement board) right over the sheeting without a barrier like the original siding was which lasted 36 years. Option #2 would be to use a house wrap like Tyvex. Option #3 would be to use a layer of 15# roofing felt. I have seen tar paper used under siding before. What is your experience with roofing felt. I am sort of leaning towards roofing felt due to the ease of application, effectiveness in keeping water out and cost. Would that be a good option?
