Frame with Metal or Wood?
In the past, metal framing was primarily used on commercial building projects. NewBuildingProjects.com is investigating metal framing options for residential building projects. We have found a company that offers a fast and affordable metal framing option that leaves wood frames in the dust (termite dust). Oh and this metal frame actually looks like a house and not like a shop building. For more details read the post Kodiak Steel Framed Houses Review.

Bathrooms and other high humidity rooms are challenging when it comes to flooring. We want something that is pretty, waterproof and warm to the toes. Ceramic tile is relatively inexpensive but boy is it cold. Ceramic flooring can also be damaged and shatter when something hard is dropped on it. Ceramic tile is also time consuming and messy to install. Some people like carpet in their bathrooms but I don’t recommend this at all because it is a mold factory! But there is something better available

k” width=”210″ height=”210″ />My tape measure sucks…well at least for doing some tasks. When I’m doing detailed woodwork and want to make a detailed measurement over a short distance, I find that the curl of my tape measure makes getting an exact measurement a challenge. Even the little plastic ruler I had in grade school would work better (now where did I put that?). Surly a clever company has developed something for this. Enter the Kreg Multi-Mark Measuring Tool. This is my favorite measuring tool! Yes, I actually own one of these and I use it often. Here is an honest tool review for the Kreg KMA2900 Multi-Mark Multi-Purpose Marking and Measuring Tool.
Maybe the better question is, why wood framed houses? Conventionally most people build their house with wood. We all know this, but why do we use wood when we know all of the disadvantaged wood framed homes have. Wood framed homes are a fire hazard, they attract bugs, they can rot, they are more vulnerable to wind damage and getting quality lumber seems to be a real challenge these days. Well the answer is that wood is plentiful, renewable, and relatively inexpensive. Also realize we are creatures of habit. We build with wood because that is how it is typically done and all our grandfathers built with wood. Most contractors also like to stick with what they know and that is often building homes with wood construction. Read the rest of this entry
Are you wondering how to build a shed base? Many people think it looks easy to build a storage shed but they get lost along the way. One common shed building question is in regard to building the shed’s foundation. This article will focus on a creative and very sturdy approach to building a shed base on an uneven slope.
Vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and french doors gives an an open feeling to this new take on ranch house designs. Designed by a San Francisco architectnamed Nick Noyes, The “Flexahouse” features a design known as a “Flexawall” which offers storage and display along the side of a Great Room.
The Flexahouse is a type of kit house that has the basic elements of a home that can be an I-shaped, T-shaped or L-shaped to meet your needs.We love the openness and flexability of this design. It seems that it would be easier to heat and cool and Nick claims that the design helps to reduce construction waste. We believe this is a home design worth looking into.

Concrete is plentiful and often affordable but the old way to do a concrete wall in homes typically offers low insulating qualities and can have long term sweating and mold issues. Most contractors use furring strips on the interior of concrete walls to increase the insulation properties, to make the wall look more attractive, and to create a chase for the homes wiring. Stay-In-Place Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) offer new options for concrete foundations and walls. Although these walls look like an Igloo cooler during construction, they Read the rest of this entry
Last year, the manufactured-home maker Clayton Homes had formally rolled out its i-House line of modular homes. Is this one bedroom, one bath 723 sq ft. “green” home worth the $75,000 and is it right for you and your small family? If not maybe the 1,023-sq.-ft. two-bedroom model for $94,000 would be more to your liking. But what if you buy this home and your family grows even bigger? Don’t fret because more space can be added with the addition of a 268 sq. ft detached Flex Room. The Flex Room has a full bath and a deck (which I love) but no bedroom or kitchen. The Flex room will bump the price up another $30,000.
