Good luck with those Serious windows. I'd go that route if I had the $. Well, maybe I would. I'm glad to see progress on this. I'd been thinking you had finished it and not updated the thread. I look forward to seeing more pictures.

One thing though. You can't outsulate with foam if you've already insulated with it. You can't make a vapor barrier sandwich. Your sheathing and structural lumber will rot. A wall has to be able to dry to AT LEAST one direction.
