Commencing at the bottom(sole plate) of the
wall, lay building paper under sill strip.
Cut any excess building paper that may extend
above the sill flange line on each side of
opening (shown as dashed line). Do not cut
building paper horizontally so the paper
will lap over the jamb strips. Install successive
lines of building paper (B,C,D etc) over jamb
and head flanges, lapping each course.
