Erect and Brace Wall Frames

What happens here

With the wall frames assembled, the next critical step is to erect and secure them onto the shed floor. The worker lifts each framed wall section into a vertical position on the edge of the subfloor. A long level, visible as an orange tool (commonly a Stabila or Johnson level), is used to ensure the wall is perfectly plumb (vertically straight). Temporary diagonal braces, made from additional pieces of dimensional lumber, are then attached from the wall studs to the subfloor or ground to hold the wall securely in its upright, plumb position. Finally, the bottom plate of the wall frame is fastened to the shed's floor frame with nails using the framing nailer, securing it permanently.

Goal: Stand up, plumb, and temporarily and permanently secure the framed walls
