Introduction

We are going to break down the framing into 11 framing modules that will be assembled on the ground in parallel with other construction processes.

This is the how-to for the modules of the 2nd floor. Starting from the south, they are labeled 4-9 with an "a" and "b" distinction referencing their location on either west or east respectively.

Step 1 Module 5a+b

Gather materials for Mod. 5a+b
2: 2x4x8'
2: 2x4x10'
1: 1/2"x4x8 Plywood
1: 3/4"x4x8 OSB
~16: 3-1/8" construction screw
~16: 1-5/8" coated deck screw

Step 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.
