John,

Thank you so much for recommending this book to me. It answered the millions of questions that I had in the back of my mind. It is an awesome book!!!!!!! I was ok with wall framing but roof framing requires "alittle" more know how. And if you have never done it before you not going to see it clearly. Everything makes more sense now and will go thru alot less grief thanks to your recommendation

I agree.
This is a must have for new self builders.
The book "Working Alone" also is a good one to buy.

"Working alone" sounds like the story of my life.  ;D

Golly just the front picture helped. I don't think that I would have thought to carry a piece of plywood with a clamp. Even better yet is two clamps and pulling it up with a rope.

If you frequent the Breaktime forum at FHB.com, John Carroll sometimes posts.  Not often, but he watches all the time.  Someone says something stupid and he jumps in.

Never puts anyone down, just pulls them back to the right direction.
It's a dry heat.  Right.

I am not sure if these are right, but I think this is what she meant:

Yep, that would be it.

Breaktime is where the pros hang out.  They can be a tough crowd.....sometimes.....sometimes they bend over backwards to help someone.

The new mag, Inspired House, has one too.  Can get to it from the same home page.  Think the forum is called "house chat"
It's a dry heat.  Right.
