For improved durability, anyone in the
new home building market will get a head
start if they adopt the 2004 building
code for durability now. The code will
include:
1.All outer wall studs connected with
truss plates.
2.All structural sheathing attached
with screws. Screws are now
available with strips for strip gun
drivers)
3.Prime lateral load outer wall
sheathing will be directly under the
drywall.
4.All shell drywall including
ceiling is attached before interior
walls are started.
Local contractors will find that larger
than truss subassemblies will slowly
become available at truss factories
