Hi Rob, I'm very interested in the direction you are taking. SIPs are very convenient as they apply to the contractor wanting to enclose the building asap and make it air tight. I'm presently in the early stages of building a timber frame strawbale wrap around with a buildt up roof and a masonary heater. We are considering applying an earthen clay plaster on the inside and outside walls.

I'm interested in the fabrication of your panels. You describe the technique as to densely pack the cellulose to 4.2 lbs per sq/ft. What I do not understand in this application is how the cellulose will perform when compacted so densely. My understanding is that cellulose requires air similar to fiberglass to be a good insulator. Am I wrong here, I must admit, I have no direct working experience with cellulose other than blowing it into the attic spaces of strawbale homes.

I'm very interested in the work your doing and would like to keep in touch.

Maurice
