Just bought a book called Ultimate Guide to "House Framing" Plan-Design-Build and it has lots of pictures and details to build off of. It answers a lot of my questions I had, shows all the different framing details, hangers ect to frame with along with trim stuff like windows & doors. Got it at Home Depot for less than $20.00 and it will probley save me a bunch more than that in not having wasted wood! Mark

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

By John Wagner?  It sounds like an updated version of his House Framing book. Should be good then.

Here's the older book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1880029987/countryplanscom#Best%20book%20on%20house%20framing

and the newer one (IF this is it)
http://www.amazon.com/House-Framing-Creative-Homeowner/dp/1580112358/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203367248&sr=1-1
