i didn't get out to the lot until after noonish. i finished nailing up the double top plates, then crawled along and nailed them to schedule (12in oc.) this was a very slow process with me trying to keep balance while carrying the nailer, hammer, and clamp.
i also added additional toenails through the bottom plate & floor sheathing into the top of the band joist. i alternated angles from one side to the other, so nailing here matches the band joist -> sill plate schedule. this should ensure continuity of the vertical force resistance system (uplift in high wind conditions.)
i also lined one wall. i'll plumb & line the rest tomorrow.
