I was once a UNIX systems administrator/Network Administrator/Security guy for a San Mateo based start-up but am taking a break from IT. Currently an IT liaison at a public company in San Jose.

Thank you gregmac! That is a fantastic article, and site! Since becoming a home owner i've been looking for a no non-sense website to explain some of the nitty gritty details. Thank you 100x!

good call! i'm not that close to the ocean but am in the middle of what feels like a rain forest in the winter. it will be sunny a couple miles away but the fog from the coast creeps over the mountain top that i'm below and keeps things moist. Thanks again!

good to know about the paper backing. it's better than nothing for sure. I still feel the urge to rip off the T1-11 and put some tyvek over the studs. The other route (more time and $$$) is throw on tyvek over the T1-11 and put up some sort of vinyl or cement fiber siding. Any comment to either of these "solutions" ?
