Can I install housewrap on wet sheating? The weather in my country has been really terrible for some time and the sheating is wet, at least the lower part of it near the ground. We’d like to speed up the work-we’ve already lost a lot of time because of the weather. I assume that since the housewrap allows moisture to get out of the walls and stops it from getting in it’ll allow the sheating to dry all right. Please help. Thank you very much.
