| - | [* black] ***Exterior Sheathing for Module 7a*** |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] 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. |
| + | [* black] ***Exterior Sheathing for Module 7b*** |
| + | [* black] Cut the top of the module's exterior sheathing (OSB) by marking the two vertical distances, then marking a point 3.5" straight out from the higher vertical dimension (right side), from this point snap a chalk line down to the shorter vertical edge (left side). Use a 7-1/4"circular saw to make the cut. |
| + | [* black] To cut the window, mark from the bottom left edge (shorter edge) 7.5" up and 5-5/8" in; this is the bottom left corner of the window hole, which measures 2'9" wide by 3'3" tall. Use a 7-1/4" circular saw to make the cut; start with a plunge cut along one of the window hole edges (at least 1' away from corners to avoid over-cutting) |
| + | [* black] Align the sheathing with a 3-1/2" overhang on the right and a 6" overhang from the bottom plate. The offset will create 1/4" gap on the left side for the previous module to attach to. The top overhang should be 1.5" to cover the top plate that will unify the modules during installation. The bottom overhang will cover the width of the bond beam. |
| + | [* black] Note: the window hole in the OSB should line up with the framing to leave the interior window framing exposed all around. |
| + | [* black] Fasten the 3/4" OSB to the framing using 1-5/8" coated deck screws around the perimeter and interior studs @ approximately 16" spacing. |
