Derek, you did a nice job with that welcome. I am under the impression panels originated with in the large freezer industry, they came second to timber framing.

rob, you bring up the "basket wall", I have not heard it call that before, it makes sense. All infill ingredients fall into that category, sips, clay/stray/woodchip, straw, cellulose, others. Cordwood even make the list, although it has many more conductive members, it still has the infilled sawdust.

How is the dense pack cellulose applied? What is it's cost / square ft., R-value / inch? Is it damp when installed and how long does it take to dry? Are vapor barriers needed on the outside or is it allowed to breath?
