The third module is complete. The left and right side walls measure 15' 9". The side walls each consist of two modules. The first module measures 8' long, the second module measures 7' 9". The second module is designed so that the 16" on-center spacing of the studs continues. The siding panels have vertical grooves every 8", these grooves match the studs for nailing. In the right foreground you can see that the end of the wall has a "California corner" to strengthen the corner and to anticipate drywall.
Building to the measurement of 15' 9" is very cost-efficient. By cutting 3" off of multiples of 4' (8, 12, 16), very little waste is created. Only a couple inches is cut off each board. 8' lengths of trim are sufficient.
