brick or siding to match the outside.
R22 insulation, 6ml poly vapour barrier to place over insulation inside 1 tube of accoustic caulk to seal the sides of the vapour barrier to the existing vapour barrier,2X6 to frame and provide backing to attach drywall, go to building supply store and ask for broken piece of drywall you can get a pretty good piece for peanuts., small pail of premixed mud and roll of paper drywall tape.
