Walks readers through house framing in an easy to understand way!

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, including:

• Using the right tools and framing a first-floor deck
• To building stairs, roofs, and dormers
• Installing exterior trim

Former Fine Homebuilding editor and builder Roe Osborn doesn't leave out the hard parts; he simply makes them understandable!
