Welcome to part 6 of our shed build showing the house wrap and window installation. In this video we show our house wrap installation, which prevents air and water from getting into the shed, but still lets water vapor escape to prevent rot and mold inside the walls. We also show how to properly flash and install a window with a nailing flange.
Thanks, again, to everyone who helped us out on this step!

1st, lol
Instead of cutting the top just over lap the rap at the top . No cutting but the top off the corners. The house rap raps in the each opening not cut off out side. then your tape goes over the rap . Built many homes and out buildings. Just saying you can do it your way it is your place not mine .
Yeah, I saw that was one of the ways many people do it, as well. There were several different methods documented on YouTube, so I just picked one and went with it. Hope it works out! Thanks for the advice!
That came out great Brian. Love the way you did the window, I’ve never seen it done that way but it looks like it will work just fine. The one piece house wrap was a great idea as well. Thanks for another great video
Thanks, Warren. Really pleased with how everything’s worked out so far. Hope that continues to the end!
@MidlifePrices It will.
Brian, awesome job brother. And you explained it well. I had to get certified to install Pella windows and they didn’t do as food a job as what you did. Found me a new way to install windows. Love it. Keep up the good work.
That’s some pretty high praise! Thanks a lot.
Good job Brian. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, Mark. Hope it holds up and people find it helpful!
TOO EASY! Good job on flashing it properly, lookin’ real nice!
Thanks, Derek! Pretty good compliment coming from a guy who’s living in the place he built himself.
shed is looking great.
Thanks, y’all!
Now I know where to come for advice and help when it is time to build the cabin.. Good Job.!!
Give us a shout! Hopefully, I’m building a wealth of good experience here. I’ll probably still be worried about it until it stands the test of time. Thanks!
Hammering near that window, please, eye protection.
Otherwise, looking great
Dang it! I’ve been really good about it, I promise! Good catch, though.
It’s coming along nicely! You planning on doing insulation and drywall inside?
Not right away, but probably finish it up a little more inside eventually. It’ll just be nice to have a good dry space for once.
Hi Guys, Dean here from Fountain Hills, nice progress, love to see it. fyi i left you a little blurb on your wordpress.
Enjoy cooler weather…Yay.
Thanks, Dean. Appreciate the info. Getting close to done!
