Thank you for all the work putting these videos together. I'm a new sub, soon to be a Patreon supporter. I understand that the metal siding provides the sheer strength for the exterior wall assembly but, we're here in Northern Arizona and I am considering ZIP-R for exterior sheeting (to get that little extra insulation (R3) from the Summer heat). Are there any negative repercussions to spraying CSF against OSB sheeting (on the interior) since there is a "vapor barrier" coating (in the case of ZIP) on the exterior? Or would that wall assembly create the negative (dew point driven condensation) scenario you experienced in your personal build?

I have recently heard some horror stories from contractors about spray foam causing massive damage in home because a small leak traps water between the foam and the wood causing massive damage while at the same time, hiding the leak from the homeowners.

When you say Vapor Barrier are you referring to the House Wrap? Some spray foamers prefer not to spray to a house wrap. We like it because it’s easier to replace a sheet of metal down the road if you don’t spray directly to the metal. Are they using closed cell?

Another really good video! So given the fact that you had the problem the commenter below spoke of, I was wondering if you had to do it all again would you still spray foam? I watched Kyle from R&R buildings video on Rockwool with Majrex, and that seems to be a pretty good system as well plus it is something you can DIY as well as slightly cheaper. Was wondering what your thoughts on this are?

You can do either. Nailing to girt is most often used unless you need a box in a particular spot. You can also go through the steel with the wire and use an exterior box.
