Home Building And Repairs

Foundation and Framing Education


We start with the foundation. A monolithic slab is recommended for the house, while a separate slab positioned at an angle is suitable for the garage. While a monolithic slab offers enhanced strength when poured in a single operation, separate slabs are more commonly used.

Moving on, the exterior walls feature channels cut specifically to accommodate the top plates. The house includes provisions for a sliding glass door, a front door, and a garage door.

Subsequently, we delve into the interior walls. The house layout comprises a master bedroom equipped with a bathroom and closet, two additional bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a laundry room, and a bathroom.

The roof employs a truss system. We will elaborate on gable trusses, distinguishing them from regular trusses. The installation process of the fascia board and the hanging backing designed for the roof trusses will also be illustrated. The garage will be framed in the same manner as the main building, utilizing trusses.

Finally, we will address the installation of roof sheeting. Traditionally, valleys were employed in this context, but the current trend favors the method showcased here.
