TWO men ONE house ONE day - with a DIY house kit

Can you build a house in one day? YES
The concrete slab was already in place, but other than that...this was built in one day! Even the interior walls were put up although it was hard to see in the video. It is possible to do this with a house kit! Our house kits come with 95% precut materials ready to build with! Check out our available kits here: www.americanmadehousekits.com/ Kit #18R

No shear bracing, no storm clips, no sheathing, jack studs under window headers don't extend to the floor, base plates aren't anchor bolted to the slab, trusses don't stack with wall studs, no bracing on trusses, no moisture barriers at windows and doors, only 2 2x-lumber used to make corner posts, bottom plate under porch area trusses is un-supported, single sill plates under window openings, no apparent ventilation in attic area, no sill seal, bottom plate touching concrete doesn't appear to be pressure treated, etc. ... but yes it stood up quick and will likely blow down even faster.

The framing looked like a house, but that's were "house" ended. It needs at minimum some type of substrate(50+ sheets of plywood@ $35 a piece) under that wrap, add another 50+ pieces for the roof. The steel is a cool look, and It's a good starter shell, got good bones...

[@rupe53]

there are still areas WITHOUT inspections. Vt is one of them, although a septic still needs to be checked by the health department. Also, many areas will do a framing inspection as long as the interior isn't done yet, but that also makes difficult if anything needs to be changed and the outside is wrapped up already.

Sorry, we couldn't do everything in one day.....maybe next time we should have 3 guys.
