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!

AS ALWAYS AMAZING

Amazing audiobook. It offers a thorough understanding of the specifics of home frame and construction. The author did a fantastic job of compiling a step-by-step manual on how to build frames for various portions of the home. It's a terrific listen and is written in simple, understandable terms. It is structured well.
It would make a wonderful gift for anyone considering renting out or building a property. If you are even considering building a house, it is well worth your money and time to read this book. For newbies like me, the step-by-step directions and helpful hints are ideal because they make the entire procedure appear less difficult.

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 !
