I didnt see that as being of any benefit since my trusses are on 4' centers, and windows spaced so there is NOT a truss over the windows.

The best way to think about it is what is needed to make the wall support capability "uniform", since that is really how stud-framed walls are meant to provide support. It's not about having trusses above individual studs or no trusses above windows/doors. In reality, the presence of the stud or lack of presence of the stud under a truss isn't important -- no single skinny/tall stud could provide support by itself anyhow. It's the combination of many studs and sheathing that handles the loads.

A stud framed wall sitting on a foundation or footing should always be setup to carry load in lbs/ft linear distribution. So that's where jacks and headers come in, as they make up for holes/openings in the wall. If there happens to be a carrying beam sitting on the wall or into the wall, you then add extra studs to support that "point" load individually, beyond the normal distributed loads.

It's only when you get into a post/beam structure that you focus roof/wall loads on points where there are posts, and then you normally have the header beam carrying the load in lbs/ft but convert over to raw lbs for the posts (and then to lbs per area for the footings).

You've got so much extra stiffness with sheathing inside and out, I suspect you'll be fine. But technically Eddie is correct and hopefully my explanation makes sense. Just remember that a stud framed wall is meant to distribute load, and any opening in the stud layout needs jacks and headers to bridge the opening and restore the lost support.

I saw another problem from looking at the pics carefully, you built at your place instead of mine. Very nice looking building and I to am jealous.

I don't see any problems with the way you've framed it up. We all have our own preferences. I would have doubled up on the framing around the doors and windows because I've always done it and I want the structure around doors, especially, as absolutely solid as possible.

If it were mine, I would have gone a little cheaper. Knowing the inside was going to be sheathed in OSB, I would have not sheathed the exterior. I would have put on tyvek and 1x4 girts and then the metal. Your sheathing inside and out probably more than makes up for any framing differences.

That was my thoughts as well.

There is ~8' of wall sheathed inside and out above each small 3' window opening. Seemed kinda redundant to put in a header and jack studs at that point.

Framing is doubled around the service door, and tripled around the garage doors.

If it were mine, I would have gone a little cheaper. Knowing the inside was going to be sheathed in OSB, I would have not sheathed the exterior. I would have put on tyvek and 1x4 girts and then the metal.

Using 1x4 nailers wouldnt have saved much money at all. And only 40' of the 72' length is sheathed on the inside. The back "cold storage" side is not sheathed on the interior, so sheathing would have still been needed on the outside. Making the transition from a 1x4 to 7/16 osb would present its own challenge.

And the sheathing is more than just lateral stiffness. It is also what ties the wall to the sill plate and top plate of the wall to resist uplift. Cause with the top plate end nailed into the studs, there is very little pull out strength.

The new shop looks great and I'm really jealous. I hope it serves you well for many years!
