O.V.E. framing: use of single top plate and Hardie siding
In 2X6 walls at 24″-on-center construction, with OSB sheathing, I’ve been advised of wavy wall syndrome. Is it avoidable? What techniques are recommended?
Also, if i use single top plates with temporary wall bracing until ceiling and roof are in place, are there any inherent problems besides sheetrock installation?

Plywood sheathing is more dimensionally stable than OSB (and more durable and breatheable).
单层板不允许在拐角处或隔板上捆扎墙壁。它固有地较弱。
OVE framing was developed in the 80's when slightly less thermal bridging was enough to improve the thermal boundary of a house. With today's much higher insulation (and structural) standards, it makes more sense to eliminate thermal bridging with cross-hatching, double walls, truss walls, or interior or exterior foam board.
但是堆叠的24英寸OC框架很有意义，而且我从来没有内部或外部（除非安装了重加冕的螺柱）。
just a bump to the top
我对24英寸OC的纤维水泥不太舒适
The first photo.. not my project ....but I know it was 24" OC
I took the 2nd photo also .. but do not know the "story"

I think fiber-cement siding is about as worthless as OSB. It's highly hygroscopic and dimensionally unstable.
Fiber Cement Siding is now mandated in many areas ...
Including new construction in the historic neighborhood where I live.
My install is over structural sheathing and the framing is 16" OC
我的壁板看上去没有“ wavey”
John,
On what basis can a jurisdiction mandate a particular type of siding? Is it for fire resistance? Maybe we should go back to cement-asbestos siding?
Robert,
To the best of my knowledge, Nantucket mandates the use of cedar shingle siding.
Robert,
I do not agree with the Fiber Cement requirement.
Minimum masonry requirements(for cladding) have been common in North Texas for years.
一些人要求的城市……and or as part of the Deed Restrictions.
The percentages vary from 50% masonry minimum to 100% masonry.
Recently some of the Cities have added the Fiber Cement Requirement for the non-masonry percentage.
I live in a Heritage District and they adopted a 100% fiber cement siding requirement for all new construction.
The "intention" is to reduce maintenance and increase durabilty.
Even the HBA program "Green Built Texas" was not allowing "wood" as a siding choice.
I do not agree ... I am just reporting.
我找不到关于这项在线任务的参考。我来的最接近的是这座老房子：

也应该如此。盐空气也没有任何站立。南塔基特的经济几乎完全取决于旅游业，因此他们有一个合理的理由来维持岛上的美学完整性。
