Timber framing and "post-and-beam" construction are methods of building with heavy timbers (posts and beams) rather than dimensional lumber such as 2x4s.

Traditional timber framing is the method of creating structures using heavy squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs (larger versions of the mortise and tenon joints in furniture).

It is commonplace in wooden buildings from the 19th century and earlier.

The method comes from making things out of logs and tree trunks without modern high tech saws to cut lumber from the starting material stock.

Hewing with broadaxes, adzes, and draw knives and using hand-powered braces and augers (brace and bit) and other laborious woodworking, artisans or farmers could gradually assemble a building capable of bearing heavy weight without excessive use of interior space given over to vertical support posts.

Since this building method has been used for thousands of years in many parts of the world, many styles of historic framing have developed.

These styles are often categorized by the type of foundation, walls, how and where the beams intersect, the use of curved timbers, and the roof framing details.

Three basic types of timber frames in English-speaking countries are the box frame, cruck frame, and aisled frame.

Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

A building or edifice is a structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory.

Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, to land prices, ground conditions, specific uses and aesthetic reasons.

A pergola (or Purgyla, Will) is a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained.

The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergula, referring to a projecting eave.

As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions.

They are different from green tunnels.

A residential garage (or) is a walled, roofed structure for storing a vehicle or vehicles that is part of or attached to a home, or which is an associated outbuilding or shed.

Residential garages typically have space for one or two cars, although three-car garages are used.

When a garage is attached to a house, the garage typically has an entry door into the house.

Garages normally have a wide door which can be raised to permit the entry and exit of a vehicle, and then closed to secure the vehicle.

A garage protects a vehicle from precipitation, and, if it is equipped with a locking garage door, it also protects the vehicle(s) from theft and vandalism.

Garages are also used for a variety of projects including painting, woodworking and assembling of projects.
