As many of us are on a budget, what would be the pro/cons of using a house wrap over the inside studs, at least until we can find the monies to finish in a proper wood? I understand this would not be for athetics, but would cover the insulation for a time being. Just wandering?
Thanks

Its going to vary by region and humidity. I have mine in a 6 mil plastic wrap sealed inside air tight. But my wrap on the outside is a tyvek or breathable membrane. My cabin is in a low humidty environment. If its a higher humidity, a breathable would be the way to go.
