Re: GBlist: bracing foam sheathed wall specs

["John Salmen" <terrain@cow-net.com>]

Hi Mike

thanks for the information - all is clear now.  A let-in plywood corner or
where needed. Definitely a nice detail and much stronger than running ply on
the surface - and definitely preferable to metal bracing and not that
difficult to detail. Still would require engineering in areas requiring full
sheathing - but then such situations would probably benefit from being
designed.

thanks again - hope you all are having a nice thanksgiving holiday.  Life up
here seems to slow down by default

John
