I am going to start furring out my basement. I live in Iowa and last year I sealed the walls with Dry-Loc. My basment is 75% exposed. I was thinking of using 2x6s instead of 2x4s, so I can use a higher value of insulation.

How would I go about doing this, I have some ideas on doing this but it never hurts to ask questions.

Thanks, Roger

Go to Buildingscience.com check out info on finishing basements, and you can enter in your specific geographic area, and it will show on the table the specifics of what is recommended for your region.
