Exterior Sheathing for Module 7a

Cut the top of the module's exterior sheathing by marking the two vertical distances, then marking a point 3.5" straight out from the higher vertical dimension (left side), from this point snap a chalk line down to the shorter vertical edge (right side). Use a 7-1/4"circular saw to make the cut.

Align the sheathing with a 3-1/2" overhang on the left and a 6" overhang from the bottom plate. The offset will create 1/4" 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.

Fasten the 3/4" OSB to the framing using 1-5/8" coated deck screws around the perimeter and interior studs @ approximately 16" spacing.
