Building Homes or Extensions/vapor barrier

Question
Hi i nailed a long nail into my bedroom wall to hang a picture that has vapor barrier behind it, but just missed the stud and went through the plastic. Do i need to worry about this nail hole? thanks!

Answer
Hi Jeremy, I wouldn't worry about it.  The stuff is nailed on the studs already.  So one more nail hole isn't going to make any difference.  I hope this info helps please feel free to write again regarding this or other matters, sincerely bruce e johnson
