Great vid! One thing I would love to see from your videos is the payback time of anything that's more than code minimum. For something like insulation it's actually very easy to do

I am going to re-side my house. I am putting rock wool comfort board 80 on. Lots of videos on how to install the insulation on the wall. I can’t find what you put at the bottom of the wall. What keeps the bugs out. Any help would be great thanks.

I think rockwood is a great Insulation product. It works great at reducing sound transfer also besides heat transfer.

I'm peaking at your furring strips. Looks like yours came right down to the top of your windows and doors? That what they did with most of ours and we had a heavy snow load this year and a lot of issues. This is still at 1/2 the snow design load, but apparently one of the biggest issues is the furrings strips transfer weight down to the windows if they touch or are close, effectively eliminating the benefit of the RO gap. I guess you're lucky you don't have snow loads. But keep it in mind if you put something heavy like solar panels on.

Thank you for the video. Next question though is where do you purchase the Comfort Board 80 Rockwool? I have not been able to find it anywhere.

How much did the ComfortBoard80 cost per sheet?

I have a question. In everyone’s install of exterior Rockwool, I see the rain screen battens floating in a cantilever position just like yours. If you are installing the battens with long screws, and the siding attaches to these battens, the screws are being used to hold a lot of weight....depending on the type of siding used. I get that the Rockwool is being supported by the screw’s shear strength, but if you install something like Hardi-siding, how do you address supporting such weight with an install like this, or is this type of install for brick only?
