At the 9:37 mark of your video you mentioned that you were about to put on the Tyvek wrap, but instead of using Tyvek wrap you used a cheaper, lesser quality wrap called everbilt. Why'd you do that?
@cma8165 The simple answer is I call all house wrap tyvek out of habit. It's like calling an adjustable wrench a Cresent wrench. But to be clear, the quality isn't diminished by the brand name.
@@kmremodeling6923 That's what I used to think until last Saturday, when I saw a RU-vid video of a contractor who tested both Tyvek and Everbilt and proved that Everbilt allows water to go through when Tyvek does not.
Seems like there is a need to address the issue as to where is the water coming from and why. Perhaps there needs to be a french drain installed to drain water away from the shed. Water is the enemy of any building. Proper slope and drainage is a must. Too often water control is an after thought. It needs to be addressed up front.
This is exactly what I need to do. I have a shed/pump house that has rotted OSB in the lower 18” of at least one wall. I am in process of removing that lovely vinyl siding so I can cut out the bad OSB. Can you tell me what you used for your aquatic membrane or seal? Also would it be wise to put something on the bottom edge of the OSB to prevent it from wicking up all that moisture in the future? Thanks and all the best from north Texas.
Probably need to grind down the edges of the slab to let the water to flow away. Grade the concrete. 3:56 Also, need to apply some sill sealer foam to the underside of the bottom plate to prevent wet concrete wicking moisture into the wood.
The water damage is similar looks like sprinkler over sprays hits the bottom plate silks up water damage to the top the one wall had to be replaced loos if water damage from roof gutter not working right
Reusing OSB Speaks volumns of this mans competency, should have used anchors not pins in bottom plate. And if your are selling yourself,on the net, why would you say siding sucks.
i cant believe people still build houses of wood. No wonder you loose your town when a tornado comes. We have buildings in europe that are 2000 years old with same bricks romans built them from. My house is 480 years old.
Is that concrete water resistant/water tight? Because the soil mousture will attack your wood structure again, because the the concrete can suck up the water in the soil.
So you are the arseholes who make a mess out of the wood ya pick through, instead of stacking it nicely for the next person to go through. Smh...be better next time.
