15. Garage door framing

The garage door framing carries the load of upper floors and the roof down and around what will be a garage door later in construction. Similarly to the exterior window framing, the load is distributed by a header, double studs and a jack stud.

17. Stairway framing

The load of the stairway is supported by the stringers, treads, and risers that make up the stairs.

The exterior window framing carries the load of upper floors, ceiling, and roof down and around what will be a pane of glass later in construction. The load is distributed by a header, trimmers, and the sill plate.

18. Floor framing at second floor

The second floor framing is used to join the second floor to the first floor. They are joined together by the second floor framing system.

19. Wood trusses and supporting connection

The wood trusses are designed to support the load of the roof and roofing materials. The trusses carry the load down to the foundation to prevent a roof collapse.

20. Conventional roof framing

Conventional framing is used in place of wood truss framing, when the load to be supported isnt heavy enough for trusses, when there isnt enough space for trusses, or to frame out angles that would be impossible with ordinary trusses.

21. Roof Sheathing

Roof sheathing is used to transfer lateral loads from the roof plane to the walls. Sheathing is generally OSB or plywood, and also serves as a nailing base for roofing materials later in construction.

22. Roof overhang connection

The roof overhang helps to protect the structure from water damage. Ceiling rafters are connected to the framed wall below by gusset plates. To further ensure that the pieces are joined, the fascia board caps the gap between the rafters and the soffit.

24. Fireplace framing

The fireplace framing is used to support the load of weight from floors above, and to prevent the crushing of the fireplace that will be installed later in construction. The load is distributed to the foundation by the header, trimmers, and sole plate.
