Looking good Brian!

It is the minimum here for R21. A few houses go thicker to accommodate 
higher R value or add rigid insulation or sprayed-in. And that looks 
like engineered wood? Is it sized to metric? Also notice more use of 
framing members than we do. The reason being that wood has a lower R 
value so transmits more heat. Less is more efficient both in material 
and future heating cost. Are you going to use vertical siding?
