| Hello- I’m a first-timer here and am hoping one of you long-time subscribers and FH fanatics can help me locate an old article. Back in the mid-90’s sometime there was a short article about a classroom project, a small house/cabin built from floor to roof out of specially designed trusses. If memory serves me, the floor joists were also part of the truss, although I’m not 100% sure about that aspect. If anyone knows which issue this was in or has this issue and is willing to scan and email the article to me, please contact me at [email protected]. Many Thanks in Advance- Lee |

I believe the article was a home in Alaska, if I can find more will reply.
I don't remember where it was, unfortunately. I just remember it was small and the walls tilted out.
Seems it was sitting up on logs or something similar.
Walls tilted out?
Bet it was earlier than the 90s too.

Could it have been in the 80's? I suppose so, but it doesn't seem like it was.
Could it be you are looking for an article entitled "Truss Frame Construction" by Mark White, University of Alaska at Kodiak, Fine Homebuilding Builder's Library, Frame Carpentry volume, page 64?

Is there somewhere on this site where I can find that article? I'm new and haven't learned how to navigate here yet.......
Cadd6, I couldn't find that article in the archives. Can you possibly scan it and send it to me?
Much Thanks to "rez" for finding and sending me the article. It was the one from the 80's titled "Truss Frame Construction" by Mark White; I guess time got away from me.

Funny how that happens, aye?
Other day I was crusing down the highway and saw the fullmoon realizing on the same road I'd just seen one the week before.
