there was one sunday may 17 and a tiny one today, tuesday, may 19 so is something gonna happengt;
Here is some adviceFor the maximum R value and effectiveness is blocking air infiltration I would use the foam in the wall cavitiesIt is super tight and seals virtually every little crackThey can inject this by drilling holes in your subsheating on the exterior, after you remove the sidingYou should replace your windows firstAs far as the board and batten concrete board? Well you are asking for quite a job installing this heavy materialConcrete board has little or no insulating valueCheck the placement of your batten strips (12 centers or 16?)You will need a nailer behind the battensYou are correct in adding rigid styrofoam insulation between your new horizontal fur stripsI would use Dow brand blue styrofoam hereDon't forget to set your windows out to accomodate the fur strips,otherwise they will be sunk back from the finished siding which won't look goodThis will cause you to have really thick extension jambs on your windows, I would make these yourself as they get expensive from the window manufacturerDon't forget the attic insulation! If you will be stacking the concrete panels- one above the other, use a galvanized z strip on the jointsHardy plank or Certainteed weatherboards have a recommended installation procedure for these sheets.
