Hello,

I’m in the process of remodeling a cabin and have been stuck in a holding pattern due to various issues with the county. In order to protect the building which is currently framed and wrapped in a string-reinforced polyethylene, I would like to install Tyvek, windows, and a large bi-fold door. The polyethylene isn’t breathing adequately, and I’m worried about potential damage with our Seattle rain.

So my question is, if my project is still on pause for a period longer than the exposure rating of the Tyvek, is there an acceptable way to replace it and maintain the window details? Or should I install the windows prior to the house wrap given that I presume it will be replaced in the future?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
