additional sheathing

In reply to one more question... by Tom from Wisc. on May 20th, 2003 05:40 PM [Go to top of thread]

I tend to agree with the carpenter and building supplier you talked with. There will be negligible insulation value to installing sheathing at that location. Sheating normally serves more of a structural function, and it appears it is not needed here. I wonder if the siding is visibly at at different depth above the soffit friese. Normally sheathing would maintain the same depth up an entire wall, but who knows. I doubt there will be sufficient advantage to warrant tearing off siding and placing sheating then replacing siding and installing the soffit.
