Hmm, interesting. If I stayed with blown fiberglass for the convenience factor do you think that the mesh netting I got will work? It sure was cheaper and my understanding is that blown fiberglass is more compressible so it doesn't put quite the strain on the netting.

I plan on putting a layer of 1.5" xps over that using 2.5" plasticap nails directly to the studs. No stringers will be used. That is, it will be (from outside) siding, housewrap, plywood sheathing, blown insulation inside 2x4s, xps, and finally drywall. Drywall will also be with 2.5" drywall screws.

Hopefully I don't need to worry so much about dew points and drying times in my climate, northern California.
