[QUOTE="lOOKnGO, post: 16426775, member: 93465"] It seems you are saying he totally enveloped the wall substructure (the posts) then nailed on the girts (horizontal members) to the post. The issue with that is he created an exterior vapor barrier. The metal will most definitely sweat on the backside also with the larger space between the metal and conditioned space means a larger temperature variation that will cause more condensation then if the insulation came in contact with the metal. The use of closed cell foam to the metal creates a solid piece with no temperature break that would cause condensation. It takes time but typically the metal panels will start rusting where it was sheared. Both ends of the panel primarily bottom first. It also rust on where the screws break through for attaching. Then show up around the screw head. I see no advantage in that method using that large of an air gap. [/QUOTE]
