Coastal building is a different beast than what we typically see closer to Seattle. Between high wind zones and seismic design categories, the hardware and shear wall requirements are on another level. In this video, we cover: The Load Path: Tracing forces from the roof down to the foundation. Shear Walls & Hold Downs: Why narrow panels require massive Simpson Strong-Tie hardware. Nailing Patterns: Why galvanized nails and 2-inch spacing are non-negotiable in a salt environment. Pro-Tips: Why you should leave specific studs out during layout to save your knuckles (and your tools). 💰 THE SCHRUTE BUCK CHALLENGE Did you spot the strap over my shoulder at the start? If you can tell me exactly what the point of that strap is in the comments, you win 5 Schrute Bucks!
