I kid you not this book is worth every penny. It's like a carpenter educational manual, but it also describes the process of building a house from scratch. Also, consult a construction manager, engineer, consultant, it is well worth a few bucks if you are interested in 100year designed lifespan. Buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Carpentry-Floyd-Vogt/dp/1133607365 / lightweight home. Or if you want a brownstone with two garages, buy an old one.
