Install 7/16" OSB roof sheathing according to the layout below. Install roof sheathing flush
with the 2x4 on the rear gable. Install the lower sheathing first. Use a straight edge to align
the top of the sheathing with the top of the truss. See Detail 'B'. If you are installing ridge
vent, cut the roof sheathing at the top of the building to be 1" below the peak of the truss.
This will allow air circulation through the ridge vent.
Install sheathing using 7d sinkers. Space nails 12" apart.
