Description

House framing can be an intimidating challenge. Thousands of pieces of wood must be cut to precise dimensions, according to a set of plans. Accurate and safe assembly is critical as the house must support the weight of building materials, equipment, appliances, and people — there’s simply no room for error. And yet, this comprehensive, accessible, and highly visual book walks readers through this complicated process with ease. It’s all here — from using the right tools and framing a first-floor deck; to building stairs, roofs, and dormers; and installing exterior trim. Former Fine Homebuilding editor and builder Roe Osborn doesn’t leave out the hard parts; he simply makes them understandable.

Reviews

  • Beware - two pages per "view"...

    Fortunately, I just "Sampled" this book. But be aware, perhaps because it has so many photos, it's presented in two-pages per view format. So even in landscape mode on an iPad, I can't read any text without zooming in. Which would be a real pain. Suggest you look elsewhere, or buy a real book (!).
