Plumbing is looking good! Don't forget the insulation and I'm not a fan of OSB, but everyone knows this already.

I went ahead and slapped up a couple of nail plates for you, so that the inspector wouldn't hollar.

It looks ok but, I would add 3/4"air chambers to the 1/2" risers especially on the shower valve. Single levers are notorious for water hammer.

Every outlet has to have an airchamber here, and you have to provide 24" airchambers at the top of all risers.

It isn't code here but, it should be. I always believe in adding them. I have seen way too many houses around here that are plumbed in only 1/2" copper, you close a faucet and the echo sounds like thunder.

Air chambers will fill with water within 2 months! Waste of time/material!
With city water {100# or so}, install a pressure reducer. Set at 50-60#.
Codes say 80# is MAX, for just that reason. 60# is PLENTY.
Another tidbit... noise is also caused by the burr left by cutting copper pipe! Water swirls inside pipe and w/over 80#, sounds like a train passing thru the house.
