Are you saying that OSB doesn’t like to get wet??

There is nothing wrong with OSB (or even synthetic stucco)if, as the previous poster implied, it is properly installed, sealed, joined (to other materials), and maintained. That is a tall order, however, for most builders and homeowners. There are brick houses in Texas that are crumbling because the Mexican bricks were of poor quality. I've seen brick veneer fall off $500k houses because the mortar wasn't mixed properly.
