I wondered about that myself, and tried foam once unsuccessfully. Sounds like a good deal, except possibly the cement portions that touch the outside and then transfer cold in, or heat out. Years ago I finished a cinder block basement for my mother, and insulated the walls with the blue styrofoam sheets, and then studded my walls inside of them so no wood wood make contact with the cinder blocks, then finsihed the walls with ventilation at the top and bottom. Also put in a ventless gas heater down there. It didn't take much to get toasty in the winter, and the summer retained coolness that settled from upstairs. Just a thought.
Here's something not to try, trying to foam the walls like I tried. That 3M foam great stuff? I did try to insulate the inside of cinder blocks with that. Bad idea, at least the way I did it. If you put the nozzle on the can, and have several cans to empty, takes a long time, and wears the fingers out. Then I broke one of those nozzles off but had a whole can and found that I could empty the whole can in about 3 seconds without a nozzle. Great idea, so I thought. Went through about 6 or 8 cans or so, emptying in seconds until the last can. There was a huge flash, I was engulfed in a blue flame along with the wall. It went out in seconds, singed the hair off of my arms and face, and kept smelling like it was burning, but thankfully went out. I did NOT get hurt, luckily. The cans say that they can "flash fire" and they are not joking. I told a fireman friend of mine about it afterwards, and posted here about it, and a tractor owner fireman here expained it as well, although I don't recall the exacts about the chemicals mixing with air too fast, BUT DO NOT MAKE MY SAME MISTAKE. You could get killed or burn the place down doing that, or both. I figure I got lucky.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
