Insulated garage wall, paneling with or without vapor barrier underneath?
Hello!
We have had a garage built, but they didn't want to finish the interior completely with paneling. As it is now, it consists of:
Wood panel-studs/insulation(gullfiber)-wind barrier
If one is to install OSB boards on the inside, do you also need to put up vapor barrier plastic first or is the wind barrier below enough? Could there be issues without a vapor barrier in a garage that is kept frost-free?

That wall was originally constructed to be uninsulated, and they added the insulation afterward, so I'm not surprised. Given the current conditions, does it get better or worse by placing plastic inside the OSB?
