Your plan notes that you will <br /> be sheathing the entire exterior of the building with OSB pernutting the use of Table R602.10.4 Continuous <br /> Sheathing Methods,CS-WSP and PFH. Please note IRC Figure R602.10.8(1)Braced Wall Panel ...to Floor/Ceiling <br /> Framing connection requirements for the continuous method. <br /> The attached sheet,BP1,indicates the locations of braced wall segments for the front elevation of the garage on the main <br /> level of this house and the location of portal frames.
