Is there value to building 2×6 versus 2×4 besides the insulation value.
We are in a cold climate. A lot of the builders here build 2×4 with 1″foam but than on the corners use a sheet of 4×8 osb, to hold the wall from racking. Others use 2×4 with a diagonal brace cut into the wall.
It just seems that this is where homeowners get taken advantage of and end up with cold corners just a thought
