Concerning the post below:
I say, more power to all fiberglass insulation(s) if that be the case.

recycled cotton insulation is good, unlike fiberglass insulation which could kill this kid.

TEAM MEETING

This Friday. May 2nd. Two thousand and eight. Ten o clock in the AM. Be there. Take this seriously kids. Be prepared to talk about your research and bring along your preliminary drawings. Though these need not be hardlined or whatever, they need to be accurate in conjunction with your research and talk about what your final drawing will encompass. The best of luck to all you.

Calculate that R-value you need for your wall system.

Info for the group.

This is a interesting calculation program.  It will tell you the r-values that are needed for different structural systems based on the type of heating source you use.
