We are removing old siding from a house, and replacing it with Hardie lap siding. We are leaving the original wood-framed picture window in place. With the siding removed there are gaps between the window jamb and the sheathing. Should we use caulk or peel-and-stick, or both, as an extra precaution against potential water damage, before we apply the house wrap?

I'd be sanding them and caulking them before applying the house wrap.

The gaps are between the jamb and the sheathing ~ does this need to be wrapped with peel-and-stick in addition to the caulk, because some of the gaps are approximately 1/3 inch wide? – RET Aug 24 at 21:45
