Wood framing, or "stick building", as some like to call it, is the most popular and traditional method of building a home. From early American log cabins, to Hollywood mansions, wood seems to be the framing substance of choice.
WHY IS WOOD FRAMING SO POPULAR? * It is relatively inexpensive.
* Most builders use this framing method, so their crews are adept at framing with wood.
* Wood is readily available (for the most part).
* Wood is a "breathable" substance - it can take on humidity or tolerate drier air within limits without structural damage.
