While I feel that Barden offers many advantages over modular homes and traditional stick-built homes, the biggest so far for me has been the speed in which the house has been framed in and enclosed from the elements. It has taken 6 working days total (and consecutive, minus 1 weekend) to get the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and roof framed in and sheathed. We’ve only had one really rainy day, and that was enough to make my stomach turn when I saw water on the floors. After today, we’ll be fairly dry the rest of the project!
Clearly a stick-built home would sit in the elements much longer before being fairly protected from weather.

July 21st – Roof Sheathing In Place
What’s To Come This Week?
I’m not certain what all will happen this week, but if I had to guess I would say:
- Shingling of the Roof
- Wrap for around the house
- Windows and Doors
