Family Room East Wall
Moving around the corner from the rake wall, we come to the family room wall on the left side of the house. This wall is actually semi-ok - the OSB is discolored, but solid, at least til you get to the lower part of the wall. The part behind the bush is kind of trashed. Note that the eaves protected the OSB at the top - it is only the lower part where the rain would have hit it more that is discolored.
"You would be surprised how many houses we do that the OSB looks like this before we get there to put on the moisture barrier." --peewee, 10/01/05
"I was going to say looks like it got wet during construction. Without a closeup I would say it looked fine 'from the street' OSB is not my fav sheathing but have used it and it discolors on the job when exposed to weather PRIOR to covering. Additionally, if a asphalt felt was used, where it was exposed to SUN and no shade, it will 'rub' off asphalt on the sheathing." --RW, 08/15/06
