[Greenbuilding] need help with sorting out grants

[Ward Edwards]

You might want to consider a double studwall, with two 2x4 walls 
separated by a space.  This will give you enough structural support and 
has the advantages of using less lumber, smaller, more sustainable 
lumber, and removes thermal bridging.
