@kwhites634 it is about the same. I have been resting it after parking lot duty at church (used my crutch), but in a few minutes I have to go clean the coop.
 
The blocks are called Perform wall. Yes, filled with concrete. It is very insulating. I don't know the absolute value, but I would think over R-60. There may be some heat loss at the top of wall where it's mostly concrete. Electrical conduit is run under the slab when possible. Otherwise, like the plumbing, channels can be carved in the 3" foam skin on either side of the blocks. Also there's a 6" square of foam every 15" on center that can be easily drilled or carved out to accommodate pipes and boxes.
I can take some different pictures of the construction if you want...

Styrofoam and concrete. It is sprayed later with a concrete color coating.


Pictures of construction would be great. I work for a builder here in Sacramento wood frame only. Long ago out of the construction part of it though. Quality control at this point
That R factor is great.

Did you say that Isbars are good chickens back at the ny Hal?
I ended up with what I think are SFH and Altsteirer. Any thoughts on either of them as well ? I may have at least a pair of each.

This is all I got left of my bike. :hit
 
How to say difficult chicken breed names

Some of those are close but most are off.
I don't think Adelaide the chicken sitter knows what she's talking about.

Leghorn = leg-horn (NOT le-garn) That depends on what part of the country/world you live in. In MO it is le-gern. I'm not saying that's right it is just how it has always been pronounced around these parts. Webster's says both are correct.
That's like New Orleans, if you're from there, it's N'awlins.
If you're from Norfolk, it's Norfuk.

Australorp = os-tra-LORP According to Webster's aus·tral·orp
Orpington = or-ping-ton (NO 'ph' in this name) Thank you for that.
Rhode Island Red = road-eye-land-red rōd-ˈī-lənd-red
Cochin = co-CHIN (coach-in)
Mille Fleur = meal-flurr
Minorca = min-OR-cah
Andalusian = an-da-loo-see-an Webster an-də-ˈ-zhən
Sumatra = soo-mah-trah
D'uccle = dew-clay (NOT dee-uncle) Do-u-clay (Uccle a town in Belgium)
Maran = ma-ron (NOT mo-rahn)
Fayoumi = fah-oo-mee
Crevecouer = krev-a-core That's close krev-kœr It's made up of 2 French words which is why the second e isn't pronounced.
Aseel = ah-seel
Barnevelder = barn-eh-fel-der Close again bahr-nuh-velt-er
Araucana = a-roo-carn-ah ar-uh-kah-nuh
Pekin = pee-kin
d'Anvers = dee-ann-ver
Fayoumis = fie-you-me fahy-yoo-mee
Chantelclers = shan-tah-clair chan-tuh-kleer
Ancona = an-cone-ah ang-koh-nuh
Faverolle = fav-er-ol
Brahma = bra-mah
Wyandotte = why-un-doat wahy-uh n-dot

I can add some that are EXTREMELY difficult to pronounce.
Empordanesa = em-por-duh-nay-suh
Penedesenca = peh-neh-deh-sehn-kuh
Euskal Oiloa u-skol o-a-lah
