This should give you around R-9 I think. Put paintable birch on the side facing out into the room or closet. For the door stop I'd go with a premium 1/2" thick board using a router or run it through a table saw to give yourself a gap to put weather stripping in. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, look at your front door and how the piece that acts as the door stop is cut to allow for weather stripping.

just a photo I found on the 'Net that's close to portraying our situation. The framing of the walls is 2x4.

I need to make access doors in the knee wall in 4 corners of our home. The hole (gap between the studs) is 18" on one, and ~22" on the other 3. And the height will vary from 36" - 44" depending upon location.
