Finally something you and I can agree on.
2X6 studding exterior is now the norm in Ontario for a good homebuilder. I am not sure that it is code, but it should be the standard.
The gyprock/drywall as exterior sheeting. It is rediculous. I don't understand it and I worked in that industry for a couple of years. Bad idea in a new house. Don't they think it will get wet before the house gets sheathed?
The aspenite board is defnately a step up Nate, but the best is plywood. 5/8" minimum.
And the townhouse I am in now, is all brick. That's why i chose it. I hate the houses with the back half just aluminum sided. But that's personal taste.
Now I might have a few fights with my builder, but I hope not. Or else I will be pulling an OAC Sparky and putting items that I want into the home during construction. Hell, I should just build my own home.

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
