Construction Regret Desolver

[mikeklooster]

SInce Im nearing completion of my ideas, combined with my desire to shrtcut everything, Ive been having weird ideas for if I have regrets. So I just thought, what if I start a string where anyone who has an idea can throw it out and see if it groes. I find, with my lack of experience and specific knowledge, that I have ideas sometimes without the whole vision complete. Ive found sometimes people can see your idea, but show you a way better way to do it. Its kinda like a septic think tank, if you will...

Ill start it off..

I got a somewhat hesitant OK to skip outer wall beefup in my string...

Today, thinking bout stuff, this idea hit me. What if, after completion, I would like some more isolation. Maybe on a particularly snensitive isolation area(like a close neighbor, or your ladies bedroom) you could build like decorative planter or bench or combo with a backboard that goes wall heigth and somehow attaches to the wall. In my situation it would be stucco, so my initial idea, would be like that cement board mortered to the wall nad then build out. The other advantage I see is, since its built out after the rock board, the rock board mass is supported by the bench/planter sitting in front of it. Not alot of specific ideas , but it seem interesting...
