So I still want to build but the snow is flying. Now I must adjust my strategy some.
Now I don't think driving nails through plywood (OSB) will be a problem whether it's frozen or not but for the frame 2x4s and 2x8s and corner posts I think it might be.
My plan remains to assemble it as 8x16 panels on the shop floor and put on 4 plywood sheets and stand it up with a tractor. But first I must nail together the frames. Now I have learned frozen wood splits easily and it's like 21'F outside now so that's gonna be a problem so...
Would you drill pilot holes for the nails first or use a heat gun to thaw the studs before driving the nails? Or maybe switch to screws?
