No 1/2 in Styrofoam is what I see.
Oh...I had no idea anyone still did that. I know it was common practice to do it pre hurricanes but they changed the codes. OSB the house and spray foam the walls. Best of both worlds.

Yep some builders up here put osb in the corners for strength and then do the rest in styrofoam.

Yeah, it's been a while since I seen this practice. I remember when sheet goods was sky high in price, some builders would wrap the corners in osb and the rest in either blackboard or a styrofoam. Codes axed the styrofoam I believe as I don't think it had a structural rating, but, I can't remember. We wrap entirely in osb in a residential build...fire rated if called for near set backs.
