Not true, planning a post frame house and there isn't a sheet of OSB or ply in the whole thing.
Post as in timber frame?
Yeah thats like saying there isn't any pizza in my ice cream.
No shit.
But traditional stick built homes use tons of sheetwood to not only enclose the structure and floor each interior deck, but to stabilize it and prevent it from racking.
But you already knew that right?
Post frame like a Morton or Lester pole building. Steel outer panels instead of sheet wood and siding.
yeah, you must know that this isn't typical home construction right? lol
and even in pole building converts (barndominiums) you still need sheet wood for 2nd floors or mezzanine.
and if you're building it to live in you should start the roof with sheetwood then go over that with a metal roof.
Yeah I'm aware of that, found a county and lot where it is ok.
Planning on doing standard metal roof with no sheetwood. Don't mind the rain sound.
