Re: TYVEK: How Long?

I saw some housewrap on a guys house for about 7 years, then he brick veneered. He would only lay a few courses of brick in a day because he wanted the brickwork to set up before he had too many courses stacked up. He asked how to measure the sand for the mortar and I told him to count the shovelfuls. Are you this guy?

Secondly, has anyone left a house un-sided over winter; the project is in Indiana--which has 'mild' winters= some northern winds.

Residential wrap 120 days. Commercial is 270 days. Read #1.
