Hello,
I am reading Ted Benson's The Timber-Frame Home and on page 99 he describes the horizontal nailer system for walls. At the end of the paragraph he states that his shop was built using a variation of this system, using furring strips for nailers with 1" thick EPS between them. The interior and exterior finishes are vertical boards. My question is , do you need sheathing before applying the exterior finish (vertical siding) , or can you attach the siding directly to the 2x4 nailers?
Thank you
Ian
