Tell us about the wrap install. Is it all done after the siding is placed? Are those a roofing nail with plastic washers holding it? From a dumb non-carpenter here.

Handling housewrap can be a PIMA, Burger...particularly if there is any wind. If you start attaching it kinda crooked, there is no forgiveness; it doesn't "bend or stretch" to straighten out and will run out to the other end crooked (kinda like laying carpet). For this reason, the easiest way is when the wall section is laying flat. Hanging it by wrapping or attaching after the wall is vertical is a challenge that requires patience. An extra sets of hands is a must.

The nails are exactly that; button caps or plastic caps. A regular ring shank nail with a cheap galvanized coating that is poked thru the center of a 1" diameter soft, flexible, flat plastic button.
