Modern Siding on Abandoned House. INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION! (EP.11)

What happens here

Inspect the existing tar paper or sheathing for any significant damage or areas where it is wet. If the existing material is in good condition, it can remain. Otherwise, apply a new weather-resistive barrier, commonly known as house wrap (e.g., Everbilt). Unroll the house wrap horizontally, ensuring each subsequent layer overlaps the one below it by several inches, working from bottom to top. Secure the house wrap to the wall studs using cap nails for a strong, durable attachment. Be sure to cut out openings for windows and doors accurately.

Goal: Apply a new weather-resistive barrier to protect the house structure.

Staples and start wrapping the sucker [Music] the advantages of having a nice long house wrap is that you don't have to layer it the disadvantage is when you have a short house like this you gotta finagle it so I'm not going to house wrap this section yet reason why is this is a bathroom window and I'm gonna get rid of it to create a little bit more curb appeal this is weird you're taking a deuce and then Amazon package shows up like Tim says I'm gonna figure out what I'm gonna do there but in the meantime we're going to continue sucker all the way around so the problem we got going on here is the siding the sitting right behind this planter box uh we could possibly I don't think we even get a new setting in there because this is a tapered quarter inch down to a three-quarter inch so I'm gonna have to demo this and I I'm a little sad about demoing because it's kind of nice but I do want to open this up to create more of a concrete slab patio area so it has to go we'll get more arbory and floral stuff here don't worry about it but it would be nice to have a sledgehammer though and safety goggles
