[Greenbuilding] Advanced framing/OVE / 100 years from now

[RONALD CASCIO]

Alan,
  Regarding glueing the sheathing to the studs.... living here in a coastal 
hurricane zone we are trying to see that a premature salvage need not occur 
due to storm damage. I'm all for reuse of building material were appropriate 
but not before the structure has provided a many years of service to it's 
long list of owners and the community, and I believe that glueing the 
seathing to the frame will work to see that this can happen.
  We have had to deconstruct at times and boy is has been difficult, but we 
have been easy on ourselves with the language. ;-)

Ron
