two story shearwall plywood not on the same side
two story shearwall plywood not on the same side
(OP)
Contractor have asked me, if possible to place the plywood for the first floor on the inside of the wall up to the bottom of the floor joist, and the plywood on the second floor on the outside of the wall but extend it to the top plate. The shear walls are over each other and have the same width. Has anyone had any experience like this or have any comments? Thanks everyone.

The important thing is to get the shear thru the double top plate of the first floor wall (plywood on exterior from that level upward, and on interior at first floor level).

I might be more concern than what I should be, but it is good to know the answer so If I face it again, I do not have tobe concern of. Thanks for all the inputs
