My permit was approved yesterday and a rep from Shirk Pole Buildings is coming out on the 28th for contract finalization. Once this building is up, it will be a long time before I can add metal walls/ceiling and thick insulation- as in more than a year. My first upgrade will be the electrical as its an absolute necessity.

I gotta wait on the thick insulation, in the meantime should I opt for the Shirk installed 1/2" or 1" foil faced insulation under roof and siding to aid in heat/cold retention and avoid condensation? Prices are 1/2" for $2450 and 1" for $3650. Eventually I will install thicker insulation. Is the thin insulation a complete waste of money or worthwhile investment? Other suggestions to avoid condensation when I use a bullet propane heater or kerosene heater?
