D'oh!  Sorry. I have to confess that I didn't notice the locale of Sam's  
house.

For some odd reason I just ass-u-me-d that it was a Cold Climate situation.

Then again, with Climate Change upon us, who knows what sort of weather  
any locale will experience anymore ?

If the locale is relatively warm, would filling the framing cavity with  
cob be an option ? (and since the plank sheathing and wood lath is coming  
off, creating an effective drainage plane over the O/S face of the studs,  
perhaps utilising the cob to help keep if from flopping around ?  (ie by  
embedding ties into the cob)
