Framing Roofs 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 build the roof of a basic 1,600-sq. ft. house. Starting from the top of the walls, 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:
- Framing a gable roof
- A simple system for framing intersecting roofs
- Sheathing roofs
You can see the floor and walls of this same house framed in two companion videos—Framing Floors and Stairs and Framing Walls. In his book, The Very Efficient Carpenter, Haun covers the material in all three tapes, along with additional information about tools, plans, codes, permits, lumber and materials.
