I hired a handyman to reside one side of my house.
He wants to come out Monday (and Tuesday if needed). Should get it done in
one day though.
He is out of town for a couple of weeks after this and we were hoping to
squeeze it in...

Now I see they are forecasting rain Monday thru Wednesday next week.
( southern Mass )

He's paid hourly so I was hoping to start pulling the siding off this
weekend to get things started...


It doesn't sound like a good idea if its going to rain...

Am I correct that we shouldn't put the Tyvek and siding on if the house is
wet????
How bad is it if I pull the siding off and then the plywood gets wet???

The area is 17' wide X 16' high.
siding is 12" x 16' MDF hardboard (crap)
the rest of the house is good just this side needs replacing.

I wouldn't want the plywood to get wet, but you'll probably get 218
conflicting opinions on this.
