I was looking for a book on framing and flipped through this quickly at a local big-box store and purchased it. I should have looked more closely. It is a just a collection of articles from a magazine that are about framing. While they go into great detail on a few chosen topics - they do not discuss framing soup to nuts as I would have expected from the title (or even the quick once-through). If you are interested in some advanced techniques, this might be a valuable resource, but if you want the basics - or at least something comprehensive - look elsewhere.
A friend has a copy of this helpful book.. once I read it, it was the most helpful books I've read on basic framing.. I learned things I didnt know how to do..this book has been a great help in the planning and construction of my home..I cant wait to order the rest of the Best of Homebuilding series.. dont pass this one up..
I wanted to see again how a fine home is built right and "Framing Floors Walls and Ceilings" a Hardcover Library bound book from Fine Homebuilding and another good book from the Fine Homebuilding Builder's Library. If you are interested in homebuilding, are in the business of building anything or are just amused by paging through a how to book, this is the one you will enjoy about Framing Home walls and ceilings up the way they are supposed to be constructed. A really nice short read.
Although does not have any in stock at the moment, this book is readily available at your local bookseller. I got mine for the cover price of $17.95.As with all issues in the Taunton's For Pros by Pros series, FRAMING: FLOORS, WALLS, AND CEILINGS is a collection of articles from Fine Homebuilding magazine. While not a comprehensive instruction manual, this book covers a wide range of topics of interest to the professional framing carpenter. Larry Haun explains time-saving techniques for cutting multiples and other time-saving techniques.Aspiring young carpenters would do well to study this book and keep it on hand for occational reference. Framing contractors, the time and materials saved by well trained carpenters more than offsets the price of this book. (Especially the articles outlining efficient and accurate methods for laying out mudsills and framing floors).
This is not written for beginners! However, we all need to start somewhere. I have learned tons of critical information from this book. It's a must have if you are building a house, remodeling, building an addition, etc. Just buy it. Worth every penny.
