I was referring to using 15/32 osb vs 1/2 cdx ...the osb is lighter..sorry I have a habit of jumping around like that especially when I ....and then we played the 4th hole at Hilton Head .........sorry I did it again

Nobody around here uses T&G sheathing for a roof. 19/32 OSB. Some guys go with 15/32, but that is too wavy for me to want to save a couple bucks on materials.

To meet code in high wind areas (110 MPH, this house is on the ocean) I need to install T&G or block every joint. As much of a pain in the ass it is to use T&G, it is better than installing all that blocking.

Don't even get me started on all the Siimpson straps and hangers I have to install. I should have bought Simpson stock a couple of years ago.
