[papercreters] re: pole barn (house) construction with PC infill

I was looking through all the post and could not find any DETAILED instruction (except for country ???) to tell us how to do what we are trying to do and if it will work.
This is what we are trying to do.
We are going to build a pole barn (house) and infill between the space with PC blocks. It will be a two story 35X35 house with clerestory windows. Like the one shown here.

Our question is. If we fill in the space between the posts wouldn't we lose the R value at the posts ?
Also, if we spray PC on the inside and outside of the PC walls how do we keep with from gathering moisture in the wall as many others have mentioned. What would be a better finish that the PC to protect from moisture?
We live in MT and it gets rather cold here :-(
Thank you for the help
