hey, i began a siding project on my home in the fall, sept/oct. i removed the old siding, wrapped the home in tyvek, and that is how it stands today because of the weather in ny. tyvek reccommends siding over the tyvek w/in 90 days. obviously im over that, and will wait until april or may to finish.
1) is it a major concern to be way over that 90 days?
2)should i rewrap(the material is not cheap)?
2)If i need to rewrap, do i go right over the old, or remove it?
thanks

Hi birch,
Just my $.02 worth, but as long as the tyvek isn't torn, I'd go ahead with the project as you planned. Never left one sitting for that long before, but you're going to be sealing it up with your insulation panels & siding so I think you'll be fine.
