Week 6 – Factory Prefab Home Progress

Attached are some updated photos. The set is fast approaching and I see long work days next week but am excited to see this become reality after all of the work our team has put into it.

Method Homes was featured on Inhabitat’s prefab Friday.

These are the stacked roof components that be craned on after the five modules are set. We are calling this the "cold roof" since the insulation is in the ceiling of the modules. The "cold roof" serves to provide the home with overhanging eaves that protect the home and distinguish it architecturally, and also provides structural strength to allow the home to go in areas with hight snow loads such as Montana, the Methow Valley, and Whistler.

Another picture of the roof components. Mark has action shots of them being stacked which he'll hopefully post soon. The actual stacking of the roof should make for an entry of its own.

Here is a shot of the kitchen and visible is the vapor barrier that goes on top of the insulation before the tongue and groove ceiling.

These are the tongue and groove boards that I have personally been pre-finishing. It has been a pet project of mine and has taken some time but its been fun putting some music on, zoning out and pre-finishing and I'm proud how they've come out.
