And jet thanks for the offer. Will have to hit you up when we start finishing the theatre room!

ICF- Insulated Concrete Forms
It is a system of styrofoam forms held together by plastic ties and filled with concrete. Depends on the system you go with there are a few different ones. It works very well and the r value is crazy. Also they say you can screw sheetrock directly to it so no need to fir in the basement wall just vapor barrier.
I have installed 100 plus of these basement systems and would recommend them to anyone.
