Step 4 Assemble Left Front Wall Frame
1.
Locate (2) two 72" long boards and cut to a length
of 60-3/4". These will be used as wall plates. Position
boards together and indicate with 'X' marks where
the wall studs will be located.
4.
Locate a 16" wide siding panel that has a 'LAP' edge. Position this panel with the
'cut' edge flush with the 2x4 header support and extending 3/4" below the bottom
plate. Only nail along cut edge until next panel is installed.
5.
Install a 4' wide siding panel . Nail both panels to frame. If you are installing the
optional windows you can cut the opening in the siding now or after the walls are set.

Assemble a wall frame using boards cut above and
(4) four 2x4-72" wall studs.
3.
Locate (1) one 72" long 2x4 and cut to a length of
71-1/2". Install this 2x4 as a header support, on the
wall frame flush with bottom plate. Use 10d sinkers.
