Comments from our editors:
Improve your framing skills with this comprehensive, novice-to-pro guide. Experienced builder Jack P. Jones provides vividly illustrated coverage of all aspects of framing--from footing to drying-in--to help you complete everything from small projects to building a home from scratch.

Jones takes you chronologically through the framing process, starting with footing, squaring, erecting, and building the foundation. He provides complete chapters on lumber, sills, floor joists, wall framing, ceiling joists, I-beam rafters, basic frame types, girders, flooring panels, wall sheathing, roof trusses, roof framing and roof sheathing. A builder with over 30 years building experience, Jones teaches you all the tricks of the trade.
