Insulation:

My builder has been doing this technique for years (even before it was cool).  She has an inch of foam insulation sprayed into the house, then adds bat insulation on top of that.  The foam seals the entire wall and the bats increase the R value.  I believe we will have about an R15 in the walls.

I grew up in Memphis TN, got a bit tired of humidity, so moved to New Mexico for College and then to Utah with a job change. I began working with an Architect there, and decided to change careers. I moved back to Memphis to apprentice in the Residential Home Design field. Now, almost 18 years later, I design custom homes which are built all over the United States. I LOVE what I do.
