Framing
Wall (Wall Stud) - Wood Framed
This is a wood-framed wall stud, which is the part of the wall that is hidden by the outer layer, at most times. This provides a stable foundation for walls to be built around, so as to make sure they are completely sturdy and not going to fall. Without a wall stud, the wall sheathing would break very easily and not hold anything up. This specific wall stud was found in my basement.

Floor System (Floor Joist) - Wood Framed
This is a floor system, where you can see the layout of the middle floor and how the floor is built. There are many layers, so as to make sure that there is no chance of the floor being destructed by any heavy materials, such as refrigerators. This can be found on staircases before the wall studs and sheathings are put onto the walls.
