Teaching through hundreds of meticulous drawings, Rob Thallon's guide covers foundations, roofs, building systems and materials, durability, energy efficiency, and more.
Highly Recommended.
| Customer Rating: | | I struck gold on this one. Just an absolutely fantastic, practical introduction to framing. Mr. Thallon does a great job on the material, and the illustrations are well-done. While my purchase was done more out of pure curiosity than a pending project, I did pass it on to a friend who was building an addition to his house. He was impressed, and used the book extensively during his build with great success resulting in a solidly built addition that he can have confidence in. |
Great reference
| Customer Rating: | | A great reference for the DIY homeowner. Lots of drawings to show you the right way to do things from foundations to framing. |
pretty good
| Customer Rating:  | | This book has a lot of good framing scenarios interesting tidbits. Both a good reference and interesting to page through. |
Great
| Customer Rating: | I do a lot of non-professional new construction. For me, visualizing the right way do do something is the problem. Once the skin is on a building I have no idea what lies underneath -- I have no 'guide' to model my construction after. Also, building according to convention is useful -- for instance, it's good to know that you can expect to find a vertical stud in a wall every 16 or 24 inches, regardless of who built the building and when -- and this book clarifies what those conventions are.
This is a great book. The graphic representations are exceptionally clear and detailed. Many alternatives are given, and in building you simply choose the alternative that gives you the most of what you want and follow the diagram. |
Great basic reference for residential building
| Customer Rating: | Have been using this reference for years as an Architect. Probably the best one out there that covers all the basics. Not overly complicated. Could use an advanced version for more complicated details, especially in roofing (half-hips, etc.) and foundations.
Great reference for the nomencalture of all the parts.
Do not expect to build from it as codes and structural sizing are required and vary too much, but good, basic detailing and understanding overall with plenty of illustrations. |
