Publisher's summary

Building your dream home doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. All you need is your two hands, some tools, and expert guidance.

Do you feel depressed and disappointed about how the rising living costs are eating away all your savings? Do you dream of a house that’s attuned to your taste and reflects your unique personality, and yet is very affordable? If given a chance, would you be willing to plan, design, and construct your house all by yourself? If any of the above statements stand true in your case, then it’s your lucky day. You’ve just discovered the most comprehensive yet beginner-friendly DIY guide on framing!

With rent and home prices going through the roof, it’s natural to doubt your financial abilities to afford your home. But here’s some good news–you don’t have to worry about paying hefty amounts to landlords. You can build your own home instead!

Recent data suggest that nearly 75 percent of millennials are taking up DIY projects and making their dream home a reality. DIY home projects not only help people save big time on their rent or mortgage, but are also great ways to relieve mental stress and improve their overall quality of life.

Feeling inspired to pick the hammer? Well, then let’s get started!

This guidebook has already done the donkey work for you and filtered out the useful strategies and techniques to help you get started with your dream project. Inside, you’ll discover:

  • A comprehensive overview of the nuts and bolts of home framing–from basic tools and supplies to smart building techniques.
  • A step-by-step guide on how to construct frames for different areas of the house.
  • A rundown on five creative roofing styles and how to create them efficiently. 
  • The first thing you need to do before starting any work on your new home. 
  • A complete checklist to ensure your framing structure is strong, smooth, and stable. 
  • How to design and build cabinets like a pro (you won’t want to call the carpenter anymore!)

Organized

This step by step guide is fantastic if you are a DIYer and you plan to do most of the work yourself or if you are looking to plan to hire most of the work. Either way, this book provides a solid foundation and you will want to refer back to chapters again and again. I appreciate the emphasis on the importance on safety and the need to follow codes and continually checking to ensure you are in compliance with codes. I love the section where is lists mistakes to avoid and the comprehensive list of tools needed throughout. A great read before embarking on a home build !
