What happens here

Tyvek HomeWrap is unrolled and stapled to the exterior OSB sheathing, starting from the bottom and overlapping successive layers to ensure water runoff. The house wrap is carefully cut around the door opening. Next, the pre-hung exterior door is lifted and carefully placed into the framed opening. It is aligned and then secured to the rough opening using shims and screws, ensuring it operates smoothly and seals properly. The presenter notes a non-traditional door framing was used due to height constraints.

Goal: Tyvek house wrap is stapled over the OSB sheathing for weather protection, and then the pre-hung exterior door is installed into the framed opening.
