That wood tone 🤤
What happens here
Begin the installation by carefully placing the first wood slat against the wall surface, which is covered with Tyvek Housewrap. Use a hammer to gently tap the slat into its initial position, ensuring it is plumb and correctly aligned. The Tyvek housewrap serves as a weather-resistant barrier behind the wood siding.
Goal: Secure the initial wood slat as a guide for subsequent pieces
