Post Frame Gabion Wall Berm House Build

Hey Will it is occurring to me that i might have come off sounding like i was putting your idea down in my above post 46.  Not at all.  To clarify i was just saying that the vertical orientated insulation will outperform the sloped orientated insulation due to simple mechanics of what direction the settling is occurring, that is all.  Dispite that drawback of the sloped insulation, im still planning on using it due to its other benefits.  Sorry i should have worded it better the first time, wasnt trying to be a jerk.

To be honest, I didnt completely understand what the bar was doing in the fence idea (why i was suggesting a visual) but i think i grasp the rest of it and it sounds like a good idea.  Im interested in compiling all thoughts and ideas, heck ive already posted 3 or 4 different variations of how i might attach the insulation and ill probably still be modifying and fine tuning them up until i finally make it and even then it will no doubt still need fine tuning after the wall starts settling.  That is just the nature of doing something that has never been done, we can make our best guess, but its going to do whatever its going to do.  I enjoy inventing things, i do lots of experiments on all kinds of stuff so all this is right up my ally and im having fun with it all.  

My excitement has had me losing sleep, so many ideas racing.  Bloodshot eyes from staring at the computer designing the house. But i love it!

This thing is practically designing itself at this point, just riding the wave now!  Ok check out this setup i come up with.  The living room and kitchen have these exposed timbers, probably will have wood plank on top.  The living room area is bumped up sitting on these 4 pillars,  Im imagining having hanging chairs and plants hanging from the big beams going between them.  In the center of the living room bumped up cieling im going to put one of those solar tube lights which will light up a bottle wall dome light diffuser thing i got in mind to make.  You know the bottle walls with the colored bottles, that but on a big domed light diffuser ceiling light powered by the sun.  Freaking cool!  And i got that compass planned into the floor design, not sure if im going to keep those colors or go more earth tones, but it will have the glowing colored bottles above so either way im thinking. Guess it would be concrete and epoxy to do that.  I wanted the room to have good views, very communal, and good acoustics and a smooth floor as i like playing music and dancing.  Going to be amazing
