Question: Would it make sense to put a vapor barrier over plyboard?

Melissa writes from Canada: "I have a 70 year old house. There is insulation behind the plyboard walls, but there is no vapor barrier on the insulation. I am drywalling all the walls. Would it make sense to put a vapor barrier over the plyboard and then put the drywall on?"

Answer: In this situation I recommend using a vapor barrier paint.
