House framing research

(Walter)

I would like to learn to read a framing blueprint.
I have framed many times before and I am confident that I can build it.
I just need to get better at reading blueprints.
Can you recomend any books?

Hi!

To begin with, to gain a bit of general knowledge on how to read plans, you could have a quick look at www.plan-and-build-a-house.com/how-to-read-blueprints.html

Then to develop a more detailed understanding of house framing...

I would have a look at www.kithomebasics.com/framing-a-house.html where there are some guides and book references available.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
