Installing a vapr barrier in an old house
We just moved into a 115-year-old home and want to add insulation into the walls. Can we install a Tyvec vapor barrier to the interior side of the wall so that we don not have to disturb the existing brick siding? Our number one concern right now is insulation and draftiness. When we begin remodeling, is it ok to install Tyvek or similar on the interior walls so that we don't have to disturb the brick exterior?

What Can I Do to Replace the Bottom 6″ of Cedar Shake to Eliminate Rot?
I recently bought a 1940s home in Kansas City and the basement is a walkout to the wrap-around driveway. The exterior wall is a 2x4 stud wall with a non-treated single sill board on slab (level with the walkway). The cedar shake siding on the back of the house currently rests on the concrete walkway/driveway along the back of the house and is beyond repair. It was freshly painted, so this wasn't noted by the inspector prior to me purchasing the house. I will be replacing the particle board sheathing with PT OSB. I am also trying to find a good way to get some flashing between the existing slab and the new sheathing without trapping water. Since there is not a 6" clearance between the walkway and the surrounding grade, is there a finish material that I can install that would reduce the risk of rot and still blend the classic look? I was thinking stucco, but I'm not sure how close that can be installed to the walkway. I believe I would still need a weep lathe 2" off the slab, correct?
What is the Average Cost of Installing Board and Batten Vertical Siding?
What is the average cost of installing board and batten vertical siding? Should the cost for this type of product installation be similar to that of installing a standard horizontal siding job? A very rough estimate for my job is 2k square feet. I did not measure the soffit/facia areas, but that would also need to be done. I plan on using wide panels, the wider the panel the better. However, I’m not sure if this type of siding comes in varying widths. Is there a standard width I must choose from?
