About the book
Architect and teacher Rob Thallon explains wood frame construction through more than 500 detailed drawings in a visual handbook. The revised and updated edition brings its code information and material advice up to date. Its coverage spans footings and foundations, subfloors and joist systems, wall framing with bracing and sheathing, roofs with their flashing and insulation, and stairs and handrails inside and out. More than a hundred of the drawings are new, showing energy-efficient construction, advanced framing techniques, moisture control in wood framing, and the installation of newer building materials. Earlier editions sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and the publisher pitches it to builders, architects and homeowners alike.
Alan Pierce, CEO of Ansuz Balder Magni Investments, called it a complete guide to modern wood framing for anyone starting out in construction or engineering.
