Your plan notes that you will be sheathing the entire exterior of the building with OSB (method 3)permitting the use of R602.10.5 Continuous wood structural panel sheathing. Please note IRC Figure R602.10.5 Typical Exterior Corner Nailing....Stud to Stud Nailing required for the continuous method. The continuous method permits effective wall lengths as short as 30"for a 10' ceiling adjacent to a window opening. . The attached sheet,BP-1,indicates the location of braced wall segments for the garage elevation of the main level of this house and the location of portal frames. See details S 1. A basic assumption of IRC bracing is that the rest of the structure is properly constructed and connected per the appropriate section of the code. There is a notable requirement in IRC Table R602.3(1),Fastening Schedule for Structural Members for braced wall lines. It notes that the connection at the Sole plate to joist or joist blocking nt braced wnll panels be 3- 16d nails every 16"oc. Per your request,I examined the stairwell wall on the plan you sent to me for the home at the above address. See Detail T1. Additionally,per your request,I examined the tall wall at the stairwell on the plan you sent to me for the home at the above address. See Detail T 1. Frame the tall exterior stud walls of the Sport Court with(2)2X6#2 SPF studs spaced 16"OC.
