Hi Sean,

Send an email or give a call anytime...I am glad to be of service and/or help. Tim Rau of Pleasant View Restorations of the Albany New York area isn't that far from you (??) either, so I am around or in the area a fair amount...

I think you will love the "slip form" methods (aka light cobb) the more you learn about them...In the interim, I would look at switching over to mineral wools...It is a great insulation type in general... and has been around for along time...With a well established (positive) track record...

Regards,

j
