Adorn Stone privacy wall! What do you think? #shorts
What happens here
Once the sheathing is complete, roll out and apply a weather-resistive barrier, such as Tyvek HomeWrap, over the entire sheathed wall. Ensure that all seams are overlapped horizontally and vertically according to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent water intrusion. Secure the house wrap using cap nails or staples, spaced regularly to prevent tearing.
Goal: Protect the sheathing from moisture and air infiltration.
