INSIDE THIS GUIDE

What you will learn.

See the pages ↑
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
