Around here, at least, some idiot builders use OSB for sheating and roof decking. In this area that is a big mistake because of all our problems with water and humidity.
SO, I am officially using, for the first time on the NACHI board, my new name for OSB. I call it:
Vertical Mulch.
Nuff said.

You are hardly the first to call it that.
I used that term last week with a client.
I first heard it from Carl Brown a long time ago.

Had some of that in Vernon Hills tonight.
The mold cleaners were leaving as I arrived for the day.
They had mold in both attics on that particle board like stuff from bath exhausts .
Unfortunately missed the stuff I found in the crawl…lol.
Also had that stuff like 1/8 thick brick on wall panel with real masonry.
What it that called so I can look a manufacturer ?
Looks cheap.

Don’t know of any issues with the panels there. Grosse Pointe is a newer build and the neighborhood just to the east of it is older and not as expensive.
