Top plate, bottom plate, studs, and rafters.

A couple of YouTube vids to build confidence and most able-bodied dudes should be able to handle it.

Think of the education level of most guys doing home construction. Not that high.
Yep, and I can spend the next 5 months studying building codes where I live. Then there's my notorious inattention to detail and epic incompetence at menial tasks. When I get bored, bad things happen... and I bore easily. Just no. I have no talent for this ****. I DO like stonework. I made my patio and walkways out of blue flagstone. That's mostly because it was like a puzzle figuring out how to get the pieces to fit into the shape I wanted. This wash rinse repeat stuff I will find a way to screw up.
