Wall Framing Blocking - House Framing Tips
In the USA, timber framing was common until the late 1800s. Then, industrial innovation and the need to house a growing population helped push this way of building aside. Sawmills started producing dimensional lumber, which was much easier to transport, cut and erect than large posts and beams. Carpenters found they could use cheap, factory nails to assemble these "sticks" into structures in which the walls - rather than a heavy frame — supported the weight of the building. Known as balloon framing, the technique required much less skill and time than working with enormous timbers.
