I worked on a condo that was being remodeled and needed to feed speaker wires for the patio. I pressed the tip of the drill bit into the siding, squeezed the trigger, it went through the vinyl and when it passed through the rest of almost nothing, I almost fell into the side. I went to the other side of the wall, part of which had been stripped on the inside, and saw drywall, vapor barrier, fiberglass, pink foam and outside of the pink foam was the siding. My first thought was W.T.F. is this crap?
If it had Tyvek, I didn't see any. They slammed this crap up, but must have paid the inspectors to look the other way.
The next house will be new, or a gut job. I'm tired of finding crap wrapped in shit.
I ran into one of those last year. A builder remodeled this home. ( he committed suicide years ago) and the owner was doing a remodel of both floors. I ripped out a GE lighting system, Added all new speakers inside and out. The outside Bose speakers were 15 yrs old or more and were sagging a bit off the siding block. Into the trash they went.
When it came time to mount the Speakercraft speakers, the screws went through the siding block and hit nothing.
1" Pressed paper board over the studs, vinyl siding over that. Junk construction .
So now the speakers are not symmetrical on the back wall relative to the windows, but they're at least into studs now with 3" screws.
