Author’s Bio:Barry Mussell started framing houses over forty years ago. He built over 300 homes and commercial buildings with his own hands, before taking on the role of Framing Manager for a large home builder. He trained and supervised hundreds of framing crews who built more than 18,000 homes across the southeastern United States. Thirty years ago he wrote Roof Framer’s Bible – The Complete Pocket Reference to Roof Framing. It has been sold all over the world. He is now focused on training the next generation of carpenters and tradesmen.
