Thinking bout sheathing and bracing for winds. Wonder if putting my hip set trusses on before sheathing walls would be the route. Front header going up tomorrow. Ordered a 24 foot 2x6 for the top plate for the 16' 9" header. Tie it nice to the front wall. The pics make my walls look unlevel.

Gonna sheath it like this on the front wall. Bought (9)12 footers. The other 6 will go on corners vertically. Then 4x8 vertically the rest of. Blocking at 2’6” from floor.
