Home Handcut Roofs and Tracing Load Paths Part 2

In this video, we’re taking you down to the basement to explore the critical process of tracing structural loads. Starting from the upper floors, we follow the load paths down to the foundation, highlighting key considerations and common practices. Watch as we discuss the installation of 6x6 columns and explain how they transfer loads from ridge beams and upper floors to the subfloor. We also cover the importance of framing walls to the top of the rim for better insulation and structural integrity. Our experts break down complex concepts using easy-to-understand analogies, like comparing a house’s load distribution to the human body’s center of gravity.
