Usually around 2 klf for 1 story, and 3 klf for two story simple frame, brick veneer house.

I was using 3K-lf for a one story house, and 4K-lf for a two story house. Good to know I'm on the conservative side.

As for the live loads, conservatively and by code we use that component. I only mentioned the computation for dead loads as the live loads are independent of the structural materials.
