One comment about the moisture barrier. It is applied to the warm side of the structure. For northern homes with a winter heating season that means placing it closest to the interior wall. This prevents moisture from migrating into the insulation and reaching its dew point as it travels to the cooler outer wall. Tyvek house wrap can still be applied under the insulation and siding on the outside of the home if you feel that you have a drafty house. You may find it more cost effective to caulk and foam seal the cracks and areas around the windows. Despite My house have the siding and insulation installed I still had a draft comming in along the bottom of the wall along the base board. After sealing along the foundation and bottom plate that cured it. Read action !
