Introduction

We are going to break down the framing into 3 framing modules that will be assembled on the ground in parallel with other construction processes.

This is the how-to for the first modules of the 1st floor. Starting from the south, they are labeled 1-10 with an "a" and "b" distinction referencing their location on either west or east respectively.

  1. Gather materials for Mod. 1a 4:2x4x6'

    • Gather materials for Mod. 1a

    • 4:2x4x6'

    • 1/2 sheet of 3/4"x4'x8' OSB (other 1/2 will be used for Mod. 1b)

    • 1/2 sheet of 1/2"x4'x8' plywood (other 1/2 will be used for Mod. 1b)

    • 16: 3-1/8" construction screw

    • 32: 1-5/8" coated deck screw

  2. Use two people to make the proper cuts at the dimensions in the graphic at a 17 degree angle Simultaneously, use the other two people in your group to assemble the framing pieces using two 3-1/8" construction screws per connection, screwing perpendicular to the bottom plate and top diagonal pieces.

    • Use two people to make the proper cuts at the dimensions in the graphic at a 17 degree angle

    • Simultaneously, use the other two people in your group to assemble the framing pieces using two 3-1/8" construction screws per connection, screwing perpendicular to the bottom plate and top diagonal pieces.

  3. Exterior Sheathing for Module 1a Cut the 17 degree angle on the piece by marking the two vertical distances and snapping a guide chalk line to connect the two.

    • Exterior Sheathing for Module 1a

    • Cut the 17 degree angle on the piece by marking the two vertical distances and snapping a guide chalk line to connect the two.

    • Keep the rest for future use for Mod. 1b and the small 1" wide pieces in this module

    • Fasten the 3/4" OSB to the framing using 1-5/8" coated deck screws around the perimeter and interior studs @ approximately 16" spacing.

    • repeat above procedure for the smaller piece of module

    • remember that the "scraps" from this 3/4"x4'x8' sheet will be used for the exterior sheathing for Mod. 1b

  4. Insert R13 fiberglass insulation batts

    • Insert R13 fiberglass insulation batts

    • Cut to size the 15" wide R13 insulation and install them into the stud cavities with the paper faced side closest to the interior

  5. Interior sheathing for module 1a Cut the 1/2" OSB at 3' parallel to the short side of the piece to keep the rest for future use for Mod. 1b and the small 1" wide pieces in this module Keep the rest for future use for Mod. 1b and the small 1" wide pieces in this module

    • Interior sheathing for module 1a

    • Cut the 1/2" OSB at 3' parallel to the short side of the piece to keep the rest for future use for Mod. 1b and the small 1" wide pieces in this module

    • Keep the rest for future use for Mod. 1b and the small 1" wide pieces in this module

    • Fasten the 1/2" plywood to the framing using 1-5/8" coated deck screws around the perimeter and interior studs @ approximately 16" spacing.

    • repeat above procedure for the smaller piece of module
