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

-
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.

Exterior Sheathing for Module 2a
-
Cut the 17 degree angle on the piece by marking the two vertical distances and snapping a guide chalk line to connect the two. Use a 7-1/4"circular saw to make the cut.
-
Keep the rest for future use for Mod. 1b and the small 1" wide pieces in this module
