    This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

      The screws he’s using are construction screws which can be used in framing/structural applications. What he is doing is ok, wood is a natural material so it never comes in a perfect shape. It is usually bowed so methods such as this are used when you need to straighten them out. While the wood may be under tension right now, it will eventually take on the new shape the pressure is shaping it into.

    • @mcLOVINdonalds
      @mcLOVINdonalds Рік тому +3

      Regardless of how you build a house, if the frame is wood then creaking, changing of pressure load etc is bound to happen. Wood contracts and expands due to temperature all the time, different woods have different results, but wood is wood. It can bend, twist, warp at any time so him doing is actually required to tightly seal the house off.
