It did/does roughly what Tyvek does only not as efficiently as it is stapled to the outside sheathing and the joints aren't taped.;)

Oh I see. I have not idea actually - I will take a look later. Would this solve the need for house wrap then?

The problem with old tar paper is that lately it has found in a few cases to be containing asbestos and that opens up a whole new can of worms if you are having contractors do the job

Our house flooded from the roof down. During the complete strip out, they noticed some of the old tiles on the floor in the bedrooms were 9 by 9's. Apparantly this is a red flag that they were probably made with asbestos. So all worked halted. The tests came back that no, it wasn't the floor tiles. Next they thought it was the paint - no not that either. Next the plaster on the drywall. Nope not that either. I finally worked it out for them - :blink: - it was the underlay on the super old carpet that we had taken up the year before. |

However, as this is old siding, there is no house wrap underneath. Now would you: (a) give it a quick sand and paint and then have a nice project in the spring of carefully removing it and putting house wrap on and putting it back on and sanding and painting it properly; or (b) stick house wrap and vinyl siding on? Answers on a postcard please. |

Re: Siding Quandry
last year when we did our roof/windows, we found so much rot underneath that we had to take off our cedar siding, and replace with vinyl. I wasn't happy, but it was all we could do/afford at the time, although we did go for the best quality vinyl in a nice colour.
Now, I'm actually happy with the decision. From a distance it looks just like wood, it's only up close you can tell its vinyl. The lack of maintenance is a huge plus as well. If you want i can send you some before/after photos just to let you see the difference. |
Re: Siding Quandry
Did you use one of those disaster restoration specialists companies ?? They just love to find some hazardous materials on the house so they can basically then just decide to charge whatever price they want regardless of the original quote - Usually they will wheedle in a 3rd party consultant (99% of the time employed by them - so the results might not be what you want to hear) to do an assesement then start quoting the OH & S rules for the province .:sneaky:
