    Great suff, There is a special blade for trimming flush with studs but I've used a bow saw with acceptable results for smaller projects

    sorry about the lack of pics, but we have hit the stage of building that is not so exciting. Plumbing, electrical, and mechanical. I haven't gotten brick started yet due to the cold weather.

    That looks like it's gonna be a very efficient tight house......... Has your mechanical contractor talked with you about installing an ERV to ensure the house is ventilated properly?

    yes, I know about the fresh air returns systems. If you have a completely foamed house you must ventilate it properly. I am not doing a completely foamed house. My walls are foamed but my attic is gonna have traditional blown in insulation. Probably gonna have an R44 up there. The reason being is that I have an extremely tall, complicated, and cut-up roofline. I was kinda scared to foam between the rafters and maybe not be able to tell where any future roof leaks may be located. The cost of foaming a big tall attic was another factor. The way I have it figured it would take about 10 years or more to recoup my cost, by then who knows what will be available. The way I see it, if I can't recoup my money within 5 years it's not worth the trouble, BUT, I have been wrong before.
