So I'm planning this siding project and I was just advised that I cannot insulate the wall to code with fiberglass if I do it from the outside. The reason is that it will place the facing on the outside instead of the inside. The only way to install it properly is to install it from the INSIDE, and I'll be damned if I'm going to rip my sheetrock and shiplap down.
The rub here is that per energy code I am not permitted to replace my siding without insulating the walls. How do I retrofit my walls from the outside? What about fully encapsulated fiberglass? The expense of spray foam is not really an option.
