Is house wrap a good enough barrier

[jar546]

Read chapter 3 then tell us what you think has to be done.

They want to pour the front porch concrete against this wrap where it is untreated OSB behind the wrap. They already did it where they had to raise the foundation in that area because of an elevation mistake.

Not compliant in my opinion.

Jeff, I appreciate all of the new posts. It is nice to have some fresh material. Thanks.

No way is that per code and no way is that a good idea.

Nope, flashing not installed yet. Still waiting to be called for the framing inspection.

Can't quite read your notice - I think it says "Not no way, not no how".

I have never seen anything like that.

Have you been sneaking over the Delaware on weekends for these???

 

[Bootleg]

Why not install metal flashing?

 

[peach]

so wrong, so very wrong... why did they make an "elevation mistake" in the first place?

 

[RJJ]

NO! it is not enough protection.

Careful if they come back with a roll of aluminum flashing to use........... concrete and aluminum don't mix
