i know they go through the house and are to stop the walls warping etc, but any theory what theyre called??!
I think they are simply known as bracers or bracings.
turn bracing. originally a two by four was "let into" the studs at a diagonal for this. within was no plywood or OSB boards laid lengthwise would not effectively keep the wall section from going out of square. underlayment for floors used to be laid on a diagonal for the same purpose. now beside sheet material available it can effectively take the place of twirl bracing. Anti-warp wall tensioners
Answers: Brace's, and the crosses are called Anchors.
