The Pria Gia is definitely the most interesting current project that comes to mind.

I watched the videos. Only the first one really made sense to me--for the most part. Then YouTube suggested cat videos.

Those were great!

Isn't there a cat in this video?

"I guarantee that you have never seen insulated studs before!"

Actually, someone told me about them here about a year ago. As I recall, they said it was a slice of IPS, but I cannot find it now:

those will still transmit some heat and sound. If you are looking for quiet, build walls with 2x6 plates and staggered 2x4 studs, with insulation. The sheeting is uncoupled from the other side completely, except for the top and bottom plates.

You shouldn't put staggered studs on 16" center, put them on 12" centers and have 24" between studs on the sheeting/siding.

How do those foam sandwich studs compare to metals studs filled completely with foam?
