A few useful tips about framing

There are two basic framing methods: platform and balloon construction, as shown at right. Platform construction is much more common than balloon framing, though balloon framing was employed in many two-story houses before 1930.

Exterior roof sheathing serves the same purposes for roofing. Most contemporary roof sheathing is either plywood or oriented-strand board (OSB) panels; spaced wood sheathing is common for wood shingle roofs.

The wall frame generally consists of 2 by 4 or 2 by 6 wall studs placed vertically every 16 or 24 inches, from center to center.

Multi-story houses are built one level at a time-each floor provides a platform for building the next series of walls.
