What happens here

Once the furring strips are installed, cover them with thin plywood backing. Use an airless brad nailer with 1 5/8 inch brad nails to securely attach the plywood to the furring strips. Ensure the plywood pieces are installed neatly and provide a continuous, flat surface for the decorative wood planks.

Goal: Create a smooth and stable plywood surface over the furring strips for decorative planks.
