After watching the four videos about Swedish building technique, I'd have to say that I really like how the Swedish are doing things. It seems to be like a much better way to do it even in comparison to the offset and inset double 2x4 24" on-center method that I've seen adopted here. I'm surprised they are using rock wool instead of dense packing cellulose in those cavities.
I also noticed the vapor barrier is still there, it seems the more I dig into building that getting rid of a plastic vapor barrier is ideal and am wondering if they will end up going that route, which would require them dropping the spun insulation materials like rock wool and fiberglass. I'm wondering what their opinion is on that.
