Will you be using this to haul "toys"?

tbird_1977, Howdy;

Question.
In your initial post, Bottom row of pix, you have, for lack of a better name,
some purlins attached to the wall running horizontally and from what you show
in your second post you secured your interior walls (Beadboard), to them. So,
my question is; Did you fill the extra space with insulation or leave it open?
Also, how thick are your walls now and do you have any windows installed?
Ok, a couplea questions.....

Yes Rebapuck this will be a toy hauler.

Yes hank I filled the gap between the horizontal strips. Started with 1 inch in between the metal studs. Then filled the gap with 3/4 between the horizontal boards. Puts it at 1-3/4 total foam board. Walls and ceiling same system.

No windows at this time

Thanks for the answer. I'm thinking that this may be a good
way to escape from the thermal bridging that a lot of us encounter
with the insulation just level with the wall supports.
Thanks again.
