Hi, I’m in progress renovating my house and I would like to add Xps on outside. My wall will be: 2×4 with roxul comfort bat – 5×3/4 tongue and groove horizontal sheeting – drain wrap – 1 1/2inch Xps – 1/2inch strapping – primed 1/2×8 FJ cedar clapboard. My questions are: 1. Do I need vapor barrier on inside 2. Can I attached the clapboard only to furring strips or do I need to reach sheeting or studs 3. Also I was thinking to apply Vycor or similar product on top the furring strips to seal around siding nail but that’s maybe going little to far. I did spend a great deal on research but I didn’t find a specific answer to my exact situation. I live in upstate NY and climate zone is 4 or 5. Any help would be great. Thx

One of my neighbors sheathed his house with 3" foam and stucco over that.
They just put Tyvek house wrap under it and put up the foam.
