I plan on using 2 x 6 for the exterior walls. How does this affect my door and window installations. Will the standard jams be ok or will I need to retrofit the windows and door?

When you order the windows and doors one of the questions there going to be asking is it 2X 4 or 2 X 6 walls. Simple as that just order the ones for 2 X 6 walls. No jamb extentions needed.
