Are you guys talking about retrofitting insulation?

So, let me get this right.
From the outside in:
Siding, XPS insulation, paper, sheathing, framing, more XPS, Drywall?
Did I get that right?

Also, why do the tiny home people on yootoob never have actual sheathing? Its alway siding, framing then everything else.

>Siding | Tar paper | Sheathing | Studs
The cabin is not built like that. It is Siding | Studs. That is why I am here asking how to retrofit this on the cheap. I'm not going to pull the siding off and I just wanted to know if there was another way to get it done.

>How about you Google "insulating a shed" and try that out first?
I've read an article that said I could try putting some strips of wood running vertically between the studs to provide an air gap and then use rigid insulation over that but that stuff is expensive. I couldn't find anything else. I wanted to know if there was another option or if I could make straight fiberglass batts work.
