We use the Sh!! board-OSB board on side walls only. We try to cover it as soon as it is nailed on with Tyvek to keep it from growing. 7/16" when it is dry will grow to 5/8 real quick when the ends get wet. On roofs we use 5 ply fir plywood only. This last house we are on it was running $15 plus a sheet versus $7 for the OSB. Was on a roof for a guy one time with the OSB. Didn't even feel comfortable walking on the crap. Shingler say's he can sure tell the difference when he gets on our roofs. There is more than one kind of OSB. Seems the 9 ft. sheets have smaller strands and more sawdust to them but are deffinately stiffer than the 8ft. stuff which has bigger chips. Take a wack at that stuff with a hammer some time and see how it blows apart. Then try it with a 5 ply plywood. There is cheaper plywood that is used also. It is made from pine and is not as stable as the fir. I tried that once and never again. Sometimes you actually get what you pay for.
