I may have to try that. I'm not completely sold on housewrap. Not much
can beat felt. I've pulled off siding that has been on for 40 yrs, and the
felt behind it looked as good as new. Time will tell if the housewrap is as
durable.


The purpose of the housewrap is to let the house breathe while preventing
water intrusion. Sort of like "Gore-tex" for houses. Felt will trap
water vapor inside the house, making your insulation less effective.
