What happens here
Begin by constructing the structural wood frame for the wall using wood studs, typically 2x4s or 2x6s, ensuring they are plumb and level. Once the frame is complete, securely attach sheets of plywood or Oriented Strand Board (OSB) sheathing to the exterior side of the studs using a nail gun and appropriate fasteners. Ensure all edges and corners are flush for a smooth base.
Goal: Create a sturdy and enclosed framework for the wall.
