Thanks Stu,
A few observation's.
Note, it's early, and a I buzzed through it.
The part about " I would still use felt"
Nonsense
He contradicts himself when he says House wrap is all about the installation.
Properly installed house wrap combined with weather guard, a sticky self
adhesive rubber product, when used around windows ,door openings,
will nullify water intrusion. Felt paper just gives up at about 20,25 years.
I have a lot of hands on experience with this in our remodel dept.
He fails to mention the big No-No.
The doit your self improvement fella on a limited budget.
You know who I'am talking about. He is the guy down the street with
wonderful intentions who for some reason, health, broken car, unknown
expense, put a hold on the project after the house was wrapped.
Or maybe just couldn't decide on the color siding.
Leaving this stuff exposed to sunlight for longer then a month.
Sunlight degrades Tyvek and such, the longer it's exposed the worse it gets.
I see this all the time here in the north east.
You must also allow for ventilation for your entire house.
House wrap will seal your house so tight that it becomes a health
issue. Along with rethinking your heat and A/C.
And you thought I just did Gin mills.
