Day 6 Shed build 👍 trick shot at the end 😂 #framing #tools #carpentry #construction
What happens here
Measure the opening above the door or window frame and use a circular saw, such as a Makita model, to precisely cut an OSB panel to fit this space. Once cut, carefully lift the panel into position above the opening. You may need a step stool or a small ladder to reach the upper sections. Securely fasten the cut panel to the header, cripple studs, and adjacent studs using the cordless nail gun.
Goal: Sheathe the section of the wall above a framed opening.
