Asphalt paper and Cedar Breather

First installation of asphalt paper. Under the windows, the asphalt paper is slid up under the Tyvek, to ensure that water can properly "cascade" down the water resistant barrier. Like stated in earlier posts, I assume that water will end up behind the siding, but once there, will be "managed" to ensure that it does not do any harm. So, there are also sheets up "JumboTex" slid up under the Tyvek anywhere the Tyvek has been cut open to allow for installation of metal flashing.

The "mesh" is the famous Cedar Breather that I bought down in Atlanta (being penny wise and dollar foolish).


JumboTex has replaced Tyvek as our "sponsor"...

Cascading "sheets", although not "Style Sheets", which is probably more common to find on a web site...
