Great read for any beginner to sessioned vet

This is an excellent book with clear text, minimizing jargon and explaining jargon as needed. The illustrations are very clear and explanatory. I found the book very helpful to me as a consumer of professional building services, evaluating if builder was providing the features and quality I wanted in my project. I have also found this book helpful in learning how do do some light home improvement projects following accepted techniques and standards.I would like to see DeWalt add a book on finish carpentry to complement this text. There are a lot of tips and techniques for hanging doors and windows and applying trim that would be great to have in one place similar to what this book does for framing.Edited February 2019 to improve grammar and clarity.

A little more technical than your casual tree house builder might need. But then again, who wants to go through the pain of quietly slipping out of the country after a huge disaster involving 11 kids in a rotten old oak tree that you really should have taken down years ago and was on the honey-do list every week but you felt like it was a higher priority to put in a little time on the Trans-Am rebuild out in the back garage — hypothetically?

I am an electrical engineer who has branched off to occasionally design small, efficient rural cottages for independent local carpenter builders. I needed a reference that highlighted basic wood frame construction methods & techniques so that I might ensure that my designs were consistent with good wood frame construction practices. I am pleased with the depth and clarity of the text as well as a convenient appendix with span tables for joists and rafters for common applications. I purchased the Kindle version for my IPAD and Android phone, both have great resolution of pictures when expanded. I recommend this text.

I’m glad I decided to wait for the book to be restocked, rather than just finding a different book, that could be ordered immediately. When I received the book I was just browsing through it quickly and was immediately impressed with the detailed descriptions, well labeled illustrations, and easy to understand examples. I highly recommend this book, as key reference, to anyone who is learning carpentry or looking to improve their skill set and quality of work.

I had to frame, fireblock and bring up to code a basement. This book had everything I needed to complete the work.I passed my inspections! Great resource.

This book is excellent for beginners.

Eu gostei muito do livro. Aprofunda nosso conhecimentos de carpintaria, as medidas são no sistema inglês e não em nosso sistema métrico o que para a maior parte das pessoas pode ser problema, mas não é o meu caso. Aborda a construção de casas com detalhes das fundações, porão, pisos e sótão com enfoque para os USA. Ou seja cuidados que se deve ter contra a neve.

Great book explain all the basic about framing
