Re: Tyvek ground cloth

I quit using Tyvek for a ground cover for the same reason-- it does not stop water vapor that adds to/causes condensation problems and you can press water through it with your body weight if water somehow pools underneath it. IMO, a ground cover is not a good application for Tyvek.

I just googled to try to find him again and got nothing but commercial retailers. I'd seriously rather give my business to the guy on the group, if possible. Can anyone help me out here?
