What happens here

To quantify the effect of weather exposure, the presenter uses a Milwaukee brand tape measure to gauge the current thickness of the OSB panel. By placing the tape measure against the edge of the board, it is observed that the thickness has significantly increased from its original 23/32 inches, appearing to be closer to 1 inch.

Goal: Quantify the swelling of the OSB.
