Re: house wrap under gables

said by StillLearn:

Why would there be a need for house wrap above the attic joists? Is that an insulated space? Maybe I missed that when I read through the thread. If not, you maybe should be looking for more attic vents rather than house wrap up there.

On the other hand, if you insulation is in the roof rafters making the attic space insulated, then I understand why house wrap would be appropriate.

The house wrap in that area is to help keep water that will intrude below the vinyl siding from rotting the sheathing and generally making its way into the house.
