Framing Floors and Stairs is also available on DVD.
Larry Haun has been a production framer for more than 35 years and a teacher of apprentices for more than 20. He has honed his skills and techniques on hundreds of tract and custom houses, finding countless ways to save time, reduce costs, minimize problems and improve quality.
In this video, Haun and his brother Joe frame the floor of a basic 1,600-square foot house. They take you step by step through the entire process, showing you practical ways to organize tasks, streamline procedures and handle tools and materials efficiently.
Each section of the tape covers a specific topic in detail:
- Sills
- Joists
- Posts and girders
- Sheathing floors
This tape also includes two special sections:
- Joisting over longer spans
- Building a straight flight of stairs
In two companion videos—Framing Walls and Framing Roofs—Larry Haun completes the building of the house he starts in this tape. His book, The Very Efficient Carpenter, covers the material in all three tapes, along with additional information about tools, plans, codes, permits, lumber and materials.
