Book Reviews of House Framing: Plan, Design, Build (Ultimate Guide)

Book Review: Clear and Easy to Understand
Summary: 5 Stars

I am not a carpenter nor in the building industry. I have built decks, but a building (shed) was beyond my ability. This book made it easy and I was able to understand all of the construction concepts presented. A very good resource for the money.

Summary of House Framing: Plan, Design, Build (Ultimate Guide)

House Framing: Plan, Design, Build leads homeowners through the steps of building a structure by means of platform framing, the most popular style of framing in use today. Beginning with background information, the book provides the reader with everything they need to know about building, including structural loads and how they interact, sizing lumber, working with tools, and reading blueprints. The book then takes the reader through the framing process - from foundations to floor framing, wall framing, roof framing, sheathing, and more. This expanded and revised edition ends with three project chapters: one on building stairs, another on finishing a basement with steel studs, and the last on framing a bay window. Each chapter covers both construction and design information.
