Modern Siding on Abandoned House. INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION! (EP.11)
What happens here
The exposed existing house wrap is sprayed down with water to clean off any debris or loose material, ensuring a clean substrate. The presenter then discusses the proper procedure for window flashing according to modern codes: waterproofing tape should be applied around the perimeter of windows (bottom first, then sides, then top) over the house wrap to prevent water infiltration. He notes that the old house lacked this crucial detail. He concludes that the existing house wrap needs to be in good, dry condition to avoid issues when installing new house wrap over it.
Goal: The exposed existing house wrap and wall surfaces are cleaned with water. The presenter discusses the importance of proper window flashing for waterproofing, emphasizing adherence to modern building codes.
