The outer exterior wall framing is complete and the the inner layer has started.
The design is an outer and inner 2×4 stud wall with a gap between them to provide 24 cm space for R35 of cellulose fibre insulation. The gap also means no thermal stud bridging.
I’ve been framing in ~ 2.4 m wall segments to make it easier to push up myself.
A retired contractor had recommended that I cover the floor with house wrap, so when it rains, it will prevent the plywood from delaminating and keep the insulation dry. It also means less time spent covering things up at the end of each day. It will be removed once the walls and roof are closed in. The rigid insulation and expanding foam lining under the cellulose fibre already provides a vapour barrier.
