From the Author
Should be able to frame a house using this book.
If you have a basic knowledge of how to use tools, you should be able to frame a house using this book. If you can't get it all from the text, you can order three companion videos from Taunton Press that show you, step by step, how to frame a house.

Outstanding reference and guide
This book fills an important gap; it's neither too basic nor is it a structural or architectural engineering text book. I would recommend this book to anyone who's interested in remodelling or building by themselves, or even just curious about how their house is put together. This book does such a good job documenting and explaining the framing process that I would also highly recommend it to anyone who's having a house built.
