Flashing?
Hello Trevor
You are making good progress, hopefully the clouds will be gone when you are finished.
Without meaning to be critical but hoping others may see this and save themselves some time, if you had of made the wall frames outer face flush with the outer face of the slab the mini orb you mentioned using ( or any wall cladding ) could extend below the top of the concrete slab by 30-50mm and you would not have to rely on the flashing fixed to the top of your slab keeping the water out.
One final observation, do you have the bottom plate fixed to the studs only with nails into the end-grain, if you do that will be the weak link.
Best wishes with your build
Ed
