Mountain cabin construction where we have taken over after the frame erection, and the carpenters have left 9 wall supports Pa-So 70 along the long sides and firmly believe they need to stay until we have put in inner walls and ...maybe board material. Besides these fine sticks being in the way of my head all the time, they also cost a nice 3,000SEK per month in rent, so I'm almost ready to buy my own.
Now we have put up the exterior panel around the entire house and I am curious about your thoughts on when one might dare to remove these, the argument hasn't been to prevent the house from collapsing but rather to be helpful if it starts to skew 2-3-4-5 cm before we have begun building inner walls. So far, in a couple of months, I haven't seen the house start to shift (there are masonry lines along the long sides from corner to corner with a stable 1cm space against the wall).
The house is built with a pitched roof where the roof loads down into gables and two internal beams. It is not on alpine terrain and therefore not very wind-exposed.
Boards on the inside of the outer walls and transverse partition walls stabilize the house. Wood paneling does this to some extent if it is tongued and grooved. You might be able to reduce the number of supports slightly but should not remove all of them until the stabilization is complete. A 13-meter-long house is quite sensitive. It is a handsome house, so take care of it.
