Picked up some more lumber last night and started laying out the wall studs so I can nail another wall section together. It's easy in theory, but a bit more tedious when it comes to execution. At any rate, I didn't start nailing it together last night. I did go back over some of my pencil marking with a Sharpie and took a couple of pictures. If I try to speed up much, I start missing out on the details. I keep my guide book handy so I can look up how to do some of this work, too.

I made it a point to get a closeup of the way I am marking the wall plates so you could see how I'm doing it. When I actually start nailing it together, it goes quickly.

FWIW, if you're planning much of a woodworking job, Quick Grip style clamps are great! As soon as you start using them, one handed operation is a cinch. When you're doing most of your work alone, that can be very beneficial.
