Question Hi Paul,
I'm also an expert on allexperts.com. I'm a roofing contractor and my field is roofing advice. Someone asked about how to tie in the ridge beam of a new roof into the the old roof. That,s a framing question, not a roofing question. But I found an answer for him. As I was searching for a good resource online for a framing question, it occurred to me that someone on allexperts.com may already know about online resources for questions like that.
So the question is, do you recommend any particular websites that gives good, practical, homeowner-level instruction on how to build a house?
BTW, I referred that particular guy to this webpage...
