I see a garage party in your future. Looks great so far Al.

Well, the first section was the one to the left, and it was 30' long...so basically it was like 3 guys lifting a 10' section individually. We nailed wood blocks on the rimplate to keep it from sliding off the back, lifted the footer up onto the block, then started tilting up the header in increments using different lengths of support sticks. After that, we just decided to break the walls up into 2 or 3 sections and use a nice straight top late to align everything.

Bet that first wall was a little touch and go!

That's a lot of wood! Is that the most wood you've ever had, Al? Hopefully you wood lasts until you can get it protected.

Serious question... is there anything between the cinder block and the wood plate?

Yeah, a layer of asphalt shingle to deter critters, a foam sill gasket, and then a pressure treated 2x8 bottom plate.

Love it when a plan comes together. Looking good Al!
