Check the IRC, UBC, the BBC oh wait don’t look there nothing but Benny Hill jokes. :shock:

Then look up the Dupont “Tyvek” installation instructions.

It’s fun. It’s entertaining. It’s just down right amazing!!!:roll:

Hi Todd,

You can also check it with the IRS, but be careful, they’ll want 30% of whatever the biggest # is :mrgreen:

Hi to all,

I can’t decide if this was a brilliant question or a terrible one, here’s why

the correct answer (IRC) is ***2 inch horizontal and 6 inch vertical

*****However, this is the classic case of code being the minimum standard as most manufacturers of siding paper actually recommend a bigger overlap, in the case of Tyvek their installation guides recommend 6 inches at all laps and 12 inch laps around corners

Regards

Gerry
