What happens here

Completely wrap the prepared walls with house wrap (BreatheEZ or Johns Manville ProWrap). This critical step prevents condensation, which forms behind metal siding due to temperature fluctuations, from damaging the underlying sheathing. Secure the house wrap using a staple gun, ensuring ample overlap between sheets. The house wrap also acts as a weather barrier.

Goal: Apply a moisture barrier to protect the sheathing from condensation and weather.
