[* black] ***Exterior Sheathing for Module 8a***
[* black] Measure and mark 5'11-1/8" up one side of the OSB and over 3'10-1/2". Cut the module's exterior sheathing using a 7-1/4" circular saw.
-[* black] Align the sheathing with a 5" overhang on the left and a 6" overhang from the bottom plate. The offset will create 5/8" gap on the right 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] Place the frame on the ground or on a table with the narrow gap between studs on the right. Place the OSB sheathing onto the frame so that it overhangs 6" along the bottom and 5" along the left side. This should result in a 1.5" overhang at the top and a 5/8" overhang on the right side.
[* 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.
