Talk:Framing (construction)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merge

I have moved Light frame construction, Balloon framing, Wall framing, and Platform framing to Framing (construction). The idea being that this, together could constitute a GA or FA eventually. Obviously some major cleanup needs to take place as well as referencing. And, indeed, if some of the sections prove to be long enough through expansion, they could again be broken off into their own separate articles per WP:SUMMARY. Hopefully this doesn't step on any toes. IvoShandor 10:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question - Combination Frame

Quick question, which might lead to an expansion of the article. I was thumbing through the old Kidder-Parker Architect's and Builder's Handbook and notice that they discuss two types of framing methods: Balloon, and Combination. Combination framing appears to have some similarities to modern platform framing, but it's not quite the same. Any comments? What are other (older, obsolete, etc.) methods of light frame construction?BSMet94 (talk) 23:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
