The White House

2nd Week of August

One of the most effective ways to provide additional weather protection and increase the energy efficiency of a home is to create a continuous air and moisture barrier around the entire house; in other words, "wrap it".  One material has been around for so long as to become the industry standard.  Much like Kleenex, "Tyvek" has become so frequently used that it has become part of a builder's everyday vocabulary when talking about weather-protective enclosures.

our "white house"

With our house wrapped in "tyvek" we now have a "white house" .  .  .  .  for a little while, until the stone veneer and vinyl siding materials are installed, and cover it up.  I hope that happens very soon.
