About this product

Product Information

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.

Great Book for the Beginning Builder
The book provided many pictures to guide you along your way, probably unlike the other books that are designed for pros. I liked how it gave an intro and guidance on tools and lumber; I am not a novice tool man but didn't know much about building tools and nothing about lumber, but now feel versed in the exact tools needed for building rooms. My only dislike was known before I bought the book and that's that it covered only metal framing a basement, while I bought the book to learn how to frame a basement, and this book didn't provide any alternatives for the basement chapter besides how to frame with metal studs. In all a great book and it will definetly assist when I want to build that deck, clubhouse, and detached garage. It has already given me the confidence to dive headfirst into framing out my basement and purchasing some cool new toys, oops I mean tools. When getting permission from the misses, I just show her the book and say, "see the book says I need this & that", it has worked like a charm.Read full review

Good Book for Beginners
This book provides good and valuable advice for those who, like me, have zero knowledge about the involved techniques for building a framed house. From beginning to the very last page, the book is full of color pictures and didatic explanations that help the reader feel confident enough to get started. As wood frame houses are not common in my country (it's pratically non existent) and as I am thinking of starting a business based on such construction technique, I am sure this material is providing me with the most important information. Strongly recommended!
