As far as pholosophy goes, I think TF is the way to go. Less structural material, stronger structure, better options. There are also many green options for finish. Look int wool insulation. Naturally fire retardant and at about $1.50 sqft. fairly reasonable. Slate look can be had with recycled rubber shingles. 50 year guarantee and a really good look!. Our time as framers is looming large. Recent increases in energy costs are opening eyes to "different" things. The longing for personalization in homes is growing also. People are growing tired of cookie cutter homes. Let's give them something beautiful and long lasting. Revive the home as a hand me down!
