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.
