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.

    • Gather materials for Mod. 2a+b

    • 4: 2"x4"x6' studs

    • 3: 2"x4"x8'

    • 1: 3/4"x4'x8'

    • 1: 1/2"x4'x8'

    • ~20: 3-1/8" construction screw

    • ~20: 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 on the miter saw. 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.
