yea
tyvek keeps water out and lets vapor through
from what i understand
but you dont want bare insulation in a garage where
you are doing projects
just think of how nasty its gonna get with sawdust
or body filler dust getting in the fiberglass
There is something called Tileboard its like pegboard
material cant think of it right now but it comes in many
styles and is supose to be used in bathrooms although
i would never use it there.
its not real cheap but it would make your garage much
more liveable and not cost so much
OR
lots of times you can goto a home depot or Lowes and
they will have drywall that has been dammaged on the edges
by some fool that cant drive a forklift
you could pick that up for $2-3 a sheet and mud the heck
out of it
its kinda hit or miss that there will be any there when you
need it so you might endup doing half a wall every couple
months until you get it done.
