Product Description
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.

 Decent book. - Poorly organized April 28, 2008
Mr. Donald A. Schmitz (Sag Harbor, NY)
I have a ton of home improvement type books, since I am a pro handyman - largely self taught. This book is hard to get through. It is cumbersome and poorly organized. Not recommended.

Good book for beginners June 23, 2007
H. D. Espinosa
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!
 House Framing - Review June 7, 2007

House Framing, Plan, Design, Build, is a very good overview for a novice that is planning to build or add to a home. It does a good job of covering the basics, but is not enough detail for someone to use to completely frame a house or addition.
Good book April 1, 2007

Clear graphics and very very detailed. No history lessons, author's vision or other personality intrussions as found in other building books. Looks like the technical manual of the platform framing method to me.
