A balloon house is the term the contractor used but actully the walls are covered with a thin wood paneling
Balloon framing.. The exterior shell of the house is constructed.. ground to roof, creating a shell or balloon around the structure. Then the floors and room divisions are added. Think of a large barn.
Platform framing.. almost all modern homes are platform framing. First level of perimeter and division walls are constructed, then a floor is added on top and then the next level of exterior and division walls are added, and the next floor atop that and so on..
Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....
