This is my first post @steemit, I really hope you guys enjoy what we do, and what we do is Barndominiums!
You may be asking yourself, what is a Barndominium? In short, Barndominiums are metal homes. They start off as a metal building like you would find in a farm or ranch, but then are finished out like a home inside. They often have home like features outside such as stone, stucco, or hardie board siding, but the majority of the outside structure is metal.
The benefits of a Barndominiums is low maintenance, high efficiency, versatility, and strength.
Because the they have, for the most part metal roofs and metal siding, they never need to be painted as the paint on the metal is baked on and typically has a 30-40 year warranty.
We use spray foam insulation as well as high SEER HVAC systems which make our Barndominiums very efficient.
Our Barndominiums are very versatile because all of the roof load is supported by the outside metal walls, we have no restrictions on floor plans because none of the interior walls are load bearing.
And lastly, they are very strong. We use metal walls on the outside and 2x4 stud framing on the inside, which creates an 8" thick wall. Both of these walls are anchored to the concrete and then screwed to each other, resulting in a very strong structure.
