House framework

In this post you will see pictures of the construction of the house frames.
We cut and layed out the top and bottom plates, marked out the studs, prop studs, trimmers, windows and doors etc.
We then cut all the cut and assembled them.
once they were assembled we started standing them a room at a time and then added temp bracing.
