(Cheap on Craigslist), then 2x4 stud walls with shiplap pine. So walls are 18-1/4" thick.
I want the front entry door to swing in, so it has to mounted at the 2x4 stud layer.
The 6" insulation running down the inside of the stem walls in the stepped down footer area is Type 2 EPS, no Polyiso is used below grade.
