Construction Popsicle Stick House
Foundation Foundation- The underlying base of the house. Foundation with crawl space Slab Foundation-concrete Basement
Floor Frame Sill Plate- Supports the outside walls of the house Floor Joists- lightweight horizontal support members Girders- a large horizontal member in the floor that takes the load off joists. Bridging- Structure composed of two members forming an X and placed between the joists to reinforce them and keep them from deforming. Subfloor- a covering of plywood sheets nailed directly to the floor joists.
Wall Frame Studs- wall frame built on top of the floor frame. It is made from 2x4 or 2x6 vertical framing members Plates- single on the bottom and double on the top that supports the ceiling joists and roof members Headers- small built up beams that carry the load of the structure over door and window openings
Ceiling Roof Frames Rafters with an overhang- a series of beams that support the weight of the roof Ridge/Tie beam- the horizontal line at which the two slopes of the roof meet. The highest point of the roof frame. Ceiling Joists- a horizontal support beam which creates stability for the roof Roof Trusses- a group of members forming a rigid triangular framework for the roof.
