BLUEPRINT FUNDAMENTALS: INTERPRETING SYMBOLS AND SPECS

Blueprints are made up of highly-specialized notations that tell builders, machinists, electricians, engineers, and others exactly how items are assembled and what materials to use. Because they are needed to coordinate work across a wide spectrum of trades, learning to interpret these specifications is crucial. From a blueprint's basic elements to the distinct features of construction, electrical, manufacturing, and machining blueprints, this program gives viewers a detailed primer on types of blueprints and how they are read. Students will see graphics that illustrate what is meant by basic, auxiliary, and sectional views; discover how CAD is used to create blueprints; and learn which career fields benefit most from blueprint training programs

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION FRAMING: CEILING

After checking the building code for specifications, it's time to add a ceiling to newly framed walls. This program takes students through the process of creating a ceiling frame to tie the walls together and provide the underlying structure for the installation of ducts, pipes, and insulation. Along with safety, tool, and green-building tips, it explains the essentials of laying out the ceiling frame and installing joists, with details on spacing, butting, splicing, the benefits of using engineered I joists, and more.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION FRAMING: FLOORS

Subflooring forms a large platform that covers the entire width and length of a house, providing the necessary base on which to secure the walls. This program explains how to frame the floor of a new home using the platform framing method. Along with safety, tool, and green-building tips, students learn the basics of placing and anchoring sills, butting and splicing, installing beams and joists, spacing, bridging, and laying both tongue-and-groove and square-edge subflooring.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION FRAMING: ROOF

Roofs can be constructed in two different ways: the conventional joist and rafter method, or the more common trussed roof method that uses prefabricated units. This program covers both techniques for building a roof frame, while providing safety, tool, and green-building tips as well. Topics covered include common rafter layout (ridge, birdsmouth, and tail cuts), roof overhangs, installing the rafters, and installing the roof sheathing with notes about when to consider possible regional specifications.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION FRAMING: WALLS

Wall framing creates spaces for plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling systems-and with the proper techniques, it can help cut energy consumption by allowing room for extra insulation. This program explains wall framing, with detailed information on chalking; cutting the stock plate; laying out the walls; cutting the lumber to size; preassembling the wall components; assembling, raising, bracing, and plumbing the walls; and nailing the cap plates. Tips on safety, tool use, and green building are provided throughout.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION: FUNDAMENTALS

Dr. Billy Harrell explains the steps for laying a foundation and subsequent flooring for a 16' X 10' portable building with demonstrations on how to lay floor joists, square a foundation and lay flooring. Students will view procedures on how to construct the framework and interior wall partitioning for a 16' X 10' wood storage building. This includes how to layout plates, make corners and tees, construct wall units, partitions, window and door units and headers. Step-by-step instructions are provided for cutting ceiling joists and rafters with demonstrations on proper techniques for some of the more exacting procedures ("lipping" a joist, cutting a "birdsmouth," marking a ridgeboard and assembling the rafters) necessary for beginning builders. During completion of the 16' X 10' portable building, you will learn proper techniques for laying a roof with discussions and demonstrations of the following roof construction steps: laying the roof deck, attaching metal flashing along the edges, rolling out and laying the roofing felt, marking the felt to prepare it for the asbestos shingles, and cutting a nailing composition shingles in an effective method and pattern.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION: SITE SURVEYING & DEVELOPMENT

In this DVD, expert Dr. Doug Ullrich, Jr., of Sam Houston State University will teach students about basic masonry, basic site evaluation, basic surveying and basic site development. Students will learn equipment identification, safety procedure and masonry techniques as he demonstrates how to build a brick wall and a block wall. Students will follow along as he selects the building material, sets up guide lines, mixes mortar, "butters" the bricks and blocks, lays row and explains clean-up procedures for building these standard structures. Using 3-D computer graphics, evaluation and surveying concepts are illustrated as the expert discusses equipment, field notes and other data collection and data analysis techniques. Students will observe pre-construction practices, view various stages of residential construction and examine developmental issues.
