Hi, I have a moisture barrier horror story. I applied 6 mil visqueen (plastic sheeting) to half my house - then had "help" putting up sheetrock by someone who didn't believe in it. We didn't apply it to the cathedral ceiling. 15+ years later, I needed to reroof. I could put my hand through the roof plywood because it had been condensing on the north-facing roof for all those years. Had to replace some rafters, tear off all the plywood, rebuild and resheath the north roof. (Southern exposure of the solar oriented house was fine, moisture got baked out of the insulation every Summer.) Put in roof vents and rafter vents to allow moisture to escape to the outside. Either apply moisture barrier or provide very good ventilation to allow moisture to escape. In cold climates, I would always apply moisture barrier, because it helps keep the insulation dry, as mentioned in other posts. Barrier or vents, one or the other, I'd do barrier if I had it to do again. Just my well earned $0.02. Ray
