On outside walls it felt like wood studs, but I haven’t done much yet on outside walls.

Any insights would be appreciated as I have not seen how they actually build houses in the Villages.

Thanks in advance.
Our home was built in the mid 90s, wood studs on the outside walls and metal on the inside walls. At that time we did have a choice.
