Are metal-framed houses becoming more popular?
Built and lived in one for over 30 years, great construction material and popular in many countries. Normal builders hate it as you dont get to walk around looking cool with a nail gun on your hip.
Carpenter here, metal simply is more of a pain to work with.
And in 30 years of working on houses, I never wore a nailgun on my belt. I don't even own a toolbelt, because they look faggy. If I'm working on a ladder or scaffolding, tools go in 5-gallon buckets, it works fine.
Depends on your experience, i’m more familiar with metal and it worked out great i hate working with timber. All the young builders around our way wouldnt know how to manually drive a nail, If you cant nail gun it they dont want to know
Impact, grinder, and a chainsaw.
Assembly techniques have improved significantly since i built mine, you need little more than a good screw gun most of the time.
