lol, Obviously a 2 step process, usually used by housing corporations, framing then an outside trim crew comes in which includes sheeting the exterior...
What caused the collapse was wind, why did it fall, people took out too many of the temporary braces, especially at the corners....
3 ways of doing it,,,,cut in wind bracing while framing (diagonal 1x4s at each corner inlaid into the studs, not frickn beams) tried and true method......metal wind bracing which hopefully is outlawed by now, thin strips of metal diagonally nailed to the studs, worthless basicly.........And plywood or osb on each corner usually done by the outside trim crew when the 2 crews are separated........Most northern houses are completely sheeted in osb.......
Someone knocked out too temporary braces, especially at the corners....All too many housing companies skimp, leaving the framing crew with little material to finish up with......leave the corner braces in no matter what.....
People don't understand that siding, sheetrock and osb is what holds a house together......
Best method (note the temporary corner bracing is still intact, they will be removed after sheeting is done)
..
As a note, many northern framers sheet the outside walls while they build them, then stand them up, tough to raise with the extra weight and the wall is squared before sheeting, not leveled after it raised without osb.........Leveling is best, just leave the damn braces in till its sheeted as shown in the image....
