Why can't we build houses more efficiently?

Unfortunately not, bunch of New Yorkers have invaded
Nope. Paulding is slowly turning into a ****hole just like Douglas county. You can thank Atlanta's "progress" for it.
Southern Cherokee Co. has slowly been infected with "Cobb Rot" from the Town Center mall area. Feels like "the atl" down there.
I’m shooting a job site in Peachtree city and they’re going from slab to a FINISHED house in 3 weeks... it’s stupid at the rate of the houses being built. As fast as the 20 guys on the framing crews are going there is absolutely no way anything is square in these houses.
In 1992 when I came back to Georgia we were looking to build a house. Got a lead on a metal framing company in Suwanee, sorry, can't remember their name but they were on Suwanee Dam Road. You could order any size house you wanted and the would build the metal framed walls and deliver them by truck. Each section was numbered and could have been erected following the floor plan. It came with all the nuts and bolts necessary. I can't remember what the roof or roofing was made of but the outside panels were come kind of cast concrete with hangers that attached to the outside of the metal frame work. It struck me as a bit expensive at the time and we never got past the general discussion part.
The good things I could see is that a lot of the building could be done by the buyer. The foundation and floor would have to be built in the old fashioned way but the walls could be erected fairly easily (and I don't think they weighed as much as wood framed walls. The other big selling point was the idea that it probably wouldn't catch on fire or burn down.
Seems like a year later they were out of business and we ended up buying a "used" house at a considerable saving.

I'm working on my exit plan. Georgia has gone to ****. The only part of the state that's still decent is far north in the mountains or south in the pines. Anything urban is full of thugs, thieves, and addicts. Hell, Columbia is safer.
Ha! Posed....here's one in real life. Anna Nicole Smith and a very visibly happy RICH Howard Marshall
I hear ya, the wife and I have been looking in eastern Tennessee and northeastern Alabama of late. The handwriting is on the wall when you see a corrupt, bigoted, soft-porn romance writer almost get elected governor, and a state government that allows then turns a blind eye to election fraud it's time to get the heck out of Georgia...
