Someone's pitching a styrofoam/aluminum lathe, plaster version of the
Owens Corning removable wall boards. The price is phe-n0-men-al. Just
like to know if anyone is familiar with it and if a DIY'er could get
their hands on *anything* to go with aluminum studs--mold-proof,
rot-proof, etc.

haven't had experience with what such a product. however, i have used
2" foam, held in place by a two inch metal z strip, which is fastened
to the concrete with powder actuated fasteners or tapcons or whatever.
its then covered with drywall. the z strips are made by USG. i get
them at a drywall supply place. adding up the parts, you are probably
looking at over 30 bucks for a 4X8 section of wall.
