Irma is of Germanic origin, and it is used mainly in the English, French, German, Indian, Italian, and Spanish languages. The name is derived from the short form of German names with the first element irmin (meaning 'whole, immense, universal') or ermen and starting with 'Irm-', such as Irmingard.
Wood framing, or light frame construction, is the assembly of dimensional lumber or engineered wood lumber that is regularly spaced and fastened together with nails to create floor, wall and roof assemblies. Wood is the most common material used within the construction industry today.
Hopefully, for those who are interested in the differences, I can shed a little light on what a separates a timber framed structure and a post and beam structure. Rough Sawn Hemlock timber with Birch Pegs extended an inch. The major difference, really the only difference, is the type of joinery that is used. A timber framed building uses traditional joinery, like mortise and tenon, dovetails, and tongue and fork (to name a few) to form the connections.
