We love that part of Arizona. I was born in Cottonwood awhile back. Family is in Camp Verde and Cottonwood. My dad, 85 years old, spends the summers in a motor home moving between camp grounds between Flag and the Rim. He winters in Camp Verde.
We would love to do what you are doing but we're in the middle of something else right now. Our dream is to build a house using the recycled plastic blocks we designed for developing nations. We calculated the R value on a wall made with walmart bags and styrofoam to be about 45. At your altitude a/c wouldn't be needed.
We built a demonstration model for SMU with those blocks and it was very cool in our spring heat. It also went unscathed in two big spring storms with driving rain, hail, and seventy mile winds. You can read more by clicking on my signature and following the links.
