Brick House: Mighty Mighty

Brick going up over rigid foam insulation
 
Our building envelope is getting its outer coat - the brick. The brick was manufactured within 500 miles of our house (plants in central Texas and southwest Arkansas.) The overall wall assembly is OSB sheathing against the studs, with house-wrap, 1/2" rigid foam insulation board, an air gap, and the brick veneer. With the interior CelBar insulation, we have a very good R-value for improved energy efficiency.
