Sheesh. How do you get any lower cost than drywall? If you can't afford

Ever hear of Sheriff's auctions? * Good buys out there if you do

And the issue is more than low cost. *Looking for material I can

Fixed the typos
Leeroy-

How about a radiant barrier over the wall cavity insulation (cross
ways to the wall studs)?

Kinda like super wallpaper with out the wall....

To improve punching resistance install stucco line wire and drive the
nails / wire subflush of the stud surfaces....this will help reduce
damage to the foil and allow subsequent drywall to lay flat agaisnt
studs

Either foil faced paper (like used in old tilt ups in SoCal years ago)
or foil .....looks like the industry has moved on to nearly pure
aluminum?

~$150 / 1000 sq ft roll...........on ebay cheaper & free shipping but
still about 13c per sq ft

But the good news is it appears to be flame resistant and properly
installed could remain in place for when you finish the space.

Would allow the use of *unfaced insulation since the foil is a vapor
retarder.
