What happens here
Once the sheathing panel is accurately aligned at the desired height, maintain its position with one hand or secure it temporarily with clamps if needed. Using a nail gun (such as the Milwaukee model shown), drive nails through the sheathing into the underlying wall studs to permanently secure it. Ensure proper nailing patterns according to building codes or project specifications. After the panel is sufficiently secured, remove the temporary wooden block by prying it off with a hammer or by pulling the nails out. Remove the 2x4 lever. The sheathing panel is now installed.
Goal: Permanently attach the sheathing panel to the wall frame.
