Time for an update!
Construction has been moving along. Slower than I'd hoped but there is progress. I've done everything myself to this point only having help 4 days for concrete pours and truss setting.
Here is the house as it sits more or less today.

I ended up with outie framed windows and 2.5" of Poly Iso foam. I'm sure my detailing isn't up to the highest standards and I've made a few mistakes along the way (You can see that small window in the front was framed in the wrong place at first) but so far I've passed all inspections with flying colors. Not too bad for an office monkey.
Electrical and plumbing are just about complete. Exterior foam and interior insulation will be going in about 2 weeks from now. There is some kind of shortage of Rockwool insulation in my area (or at least that's what I'm told). I've had 2 orders canceled so I'm moving on to plan B which is Cellulose behind netting. I've lined up a rental blower that is supposed to be capable of doing >4lb density, we'll see how it goes.
