yea we will see how it goes. i think i found a way to get her to go along with it but time will tell.

anyway. if I really want to have some serious insulation values in the walls and ceilings i have an idea. the pole barn idea will work pretty well for this. on the same principle as the double stud wall except only better? i dont have a diagram but starting from outside in.

2x4 girts(run horizontally spaced every two feet virtically)then would be the 2x6 3ply posts then a 2"gap with a standard 2x4 wall framed for the inside... that would be about r-50

Although I have no intentions or budget to build a passive house.

Speaking of budget I think I've set the budget at 100k for the house build. Should be able to do that pretty easy I think. Whenever my house actually sells I'll just put that money in the bank we should be able to get to the 100k in about 2-3 years of saving. That way the house can be started and finished without waiting on money.
