Watching a guy frame a shed at the county fair in Iowa changed how I brace my corners
I went to the county fair in Des Moines last summer and there was a framing demo going on in the livestock barn. The guy put up a wall with nothing but a 2x4 cut at 45 degrees on each end, and the thing didn't rack a bit when he leaned on it. I had been nailing flat blocks in my corners for years and always had a little sway. Watched him for 20 minutes and went home and redid my last two walls that way. What do you all use for bracing, let in or just cut blocks?
