      Shear specs are usually provided by the structural engineers in my plan sets and enforced through the inspection process. I am curious as I’ve never seen this done before, would it be true for a multi-story structure?
      I assume from the height of the “Great Wall” it is a single story structure with vaulted ceiling’s?
      Did you add any prefab shear strong walls in the project?

      Look for a straight bit with a bearing at the end that's the same diameter as the blade part. Set your router so that the blade part sticks out the same distance as the thickness of the sheathing. Bearing rides on the stud and the blade cuts the sheathing exactly at the right point. Depending on how tight your windows fit, you might have to clean up the corners with a chisel or a sawzall because the router will leave an inside corner round.

    Lots of people mistake overkill for quality, but overkill is just wasted money. The requirements for a shear wall are stated in the code and his engineer approved the plan. Ask yourself, if your reason for staggering the joints is to make a stronger wall, and stronger is better, then why not double the thickness of the wall.

      hey Eddy, take the time to read the video description. I'd also suggest you check out this book www.amazon.com/Wood-Framed-Shear-Construction-Illustrated-Guide/dp/158001996X?ref_=ast_author_mpb
      I reviewed the first version back in 2004 www.jlconline.com/how-to/interiors/resources-plain-language-shear-wall-guide_o

    Been doing this for two or three years now. Works like a charm for any and all sheeting going over windows/doors/voids. No problem. It’s not lazy it’s smart.
