If you look up on Google the best weather in the US is Santa Barbara CA. BUT.. the prices there are out of our reach. I would rather buy cars. And CA was getting crazy with having to evacuate from all the fires.

The entire back wall will be covered with 5-ply plywood. About 22 sheets of 1/2" at a cost of about $2,500. So that takes care of 50 feet top to bottom. That will also help slightly with the R rating and help with the temp. control some. 1/2" plywood rates at about .062. So that is another 5/8ths of 1. You also pick up a little R rating with the space between the spray foam and the back of the plywood. It boils down to the U Factor. What amount of heat/cold transfer is able to pass through. Then as time goes by, I will plywood the side walls. We will see... D
Just watch for any sparks etc on the sections that are not covered with plywood. Spray foam is flame resistant in most cases, but not flame proof.
