These plans are published here for educational purposes. Some of the older plans here will often need modifications for modern materials, and may need modifications to update them to modern safety standards. They provide conceptual information. Periodic changes in the National Design Specifications for Wood Construction, changes in building materials, snow load variations and the serious impact of deviations from the plan make it imperative that professional services be utilized to tailor these plans to your situation. The creator of this makes no warranty for these plans. You are solely responsible for how you use them. To summarize, we don't encourage anyone to build some of the major projects shown here "as-is" unless you are experienced enough in construction to make allowances to modernize some of the older plans. If you are interested in creating projects from these plans and don't have the requisite knowledge to bring them to modern safety standards, we insist you consult a professional.
