Carpentry Framing Information

Framing is the building block to the beginning of new construction and nearly every remodeling project. Framing must be connected to other framing pieces in order to provide any sort of support. If these pieces are connected tightly with a solid fit, most likely the structure will be durable and withstand.

The material typically used in framing is lumber but there are exceptions. Concrete, brick and steel can also be used to support more weight than wood. The latter materials can be more expensive and may require a more professional installation.

There are three types of framing: platform, balloon and post and beam. Platform framing is the most commonly used in residential building. Balloon framing is dying out and is rarely used in modern day construction. This option is not so common due to the fact the studs run the entire length or height of a house. Lumber is not usually strong enough to hold that weight. Post and beam framing use notched beams that run along the top outside of the foundation. This creates support for a second floor sub floor plate.

Together with Eastern Shore Maryland and Virginia, Delaware occupies the Delmarva peninsula. It lies on the northeast of the peninsula, facing the Delaware River, which broadens into Delaware Bay; the bay in turn joins the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Henlopen. Delaware is sometimes called the Diamond State, a reference to its small size but relative wealth. With the Delaware River and Bay along its entire eastern edge, no place in the narrow state is far from water. Many small rivers flow across the state, some flowing E to the Delaware, others W across Maryland to the Chesapeake. In the north the Christina and Brandywine flow into the Delaware; in the south the Nanticoke flows SW to Chesapeake Bay. The land is low-lying, from sand dunes in the south to little hills on the Pennsylvania border in the north; the average elevation is c.60 ft (18 m), and the highest point, NW of Wilmington on the Pennsylvania border, is only 440 ft (134 m). The capital is Dover, and the only large city is Wilmington.
