INSIDE THIS GUIDE
What you will learn.
- 01
Read a piece of lumber before you carry it: nominal vs. actual size, what every line of a grade stamp means, which species you will see, and why moisture makes a board twist.
- 02
Recognize every part of the frame by name — sill plate, rim board, jack stud, header, cripple, braced wall line, heel, ledger — with a labeled diagram for each and the IRC section it comes from.
- 03
Know the safety rules before your first shift: fall protection at 6 ft, ladder and scaffold access, trench cave-ins, PPE for silica and noise, and what a permit and an inspection actually are.
