House Wrap (Plastic sheeting)
To: Mayayana
"Mayayana" wrote in message As others have said, it's vapor-permeable wind-barrier wrap -- the same basic material as those envelopes that you can't tear; also used often for bank card covers. I wonder about it in the very long term. What if it breaks down over years? (I wonder the same about flakeboard sheathing.) When my wife inherited a log house a few years ago, we had to do some repairs because the "builder" (her idiot ex-step FIL) had not had the windows installed properly in the upper story (which has stud walls). Everytime it rained, water ran into the walls. The Tyvek was shot; the OSB was sawdust. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race? Taxes out of hand?
