Here's a picture of the west wall level inside & out... ready to receive concrete. The jagged 2' wall at the end will be sawed off even vertically and the wooden south wall will be bolted to it (a job for early next week). If you look closely you can see the "J" bolts sticking up every few feet... holes will be drilled in the 2" X 8" pressure treated top plate and the plate will be bolted to the top of the wall and the end trusses attached to it.
Here's another shot of the trough created by the 2" slices of AAC block in that same wall... the cavity will be filled with concrete and leveled off flush. Ignore the slight bow in the wall towards the end... a jack-leg mason laid the wall.
Here I am pooped at the end of the day... note how level the top of the east wall looks.
Whenever she's able to be here on the job, Alexis is always a big help.
Two of our "boys"... ready to go for a ride in the truck (Mosby, reclining... Boone-dog, smiling... total IQ = a turnip). Baxter (not shown) couldn't be bothered... besides, he's too much of a lug to jump into the back of the truck.

Hello again
It is good to see the progress you are making. I hope you put the bolts in between the trusses. It seems to me the trusses will go from North to South, the shortest distance, so the wood wall will need to be next. Over that span I will be interested to see the size of the beam to support the roof on the South wall.
