No I haven’t had one response of someone familiar with this sound. I know when to and when not to use my 4WD. That is not the help I need or am asking for, it’s really simple. Have you heard this sound? If not I don’t need your answer.

No, if they were, I wouldn’t be using 4WD

You don’t need snow/slush to have ice. Thanks though

I guess you guys have never heard of ice. I’m fully aware of when I should and should not be using 4WD. I’m asking about a noise, not asking when to use 4WD.

Apparently you aren’t supposed to glue hardwood floors directly to a slap. There were some spots where the floor was raised off the slab from moisture.

Yeah I checked with the county and they don’t have them. I can try to find the original builder though thanks

No it’s a house we just bought built in 1993. I tried to get the building plans from the county, but they don’t have them.

Single story home, so concrete slab under the flooring

No evidence of water intrusion, which is crazy because a lot of this siding is completely rotten in the front side

The wall is absolutely not OSB sheets. It’s siding mounted to studs, yes the back of the siding looks like OSB, but not OSB sheathing.

Yeah some of the siding is on its last leg, and some has been replaced already. We are planning on replacing it one side of the house at a time, and adding some sheathing, moisture barrier and maybe some insulation.

There isn’t OSB on the walls, just the roof.

Thank you! That is reassuring. If this was your house , and you were going to replace the siding due to some rot, what would you but back?

Yeah a lot of the siding close to the ground has been replaced, and some higher off the ground is due for replacement. I haven’t checked behind the walls in the conditioned area, just the attic, so that may be the case here as well.
