I’m going to be building a house, in West Virginia new to this site I’m sure I’ll be on here asking more questions in the planning stages and trying to wrap my head around things, for siding we want to use some structural t1-11 as the sheathing and siding, anyone have any advice for deatails for air barrier and or bug barrier like what products to use? Tyvek or something else? Where to tape to? What to do at the corners? Here’s what I’m thinking… tyvek directly on studs taped at all seams not sure about taping to the rim board or foundation or leave it loose and paint all edges and use z flashing where two or more panels meet together at the taller gable ends any info and advice is appreciated and maybe present me questions I don’t even know to ask thanks so much
