My first mistake

Ok. I had my first problem the other night and tonight I discovered my first mistake. I didn't start working on the basement until much later tonight because I was busy watching football and I spent 2 1/2 hours bagging the fallen leafs.

When I started putting up the little wall in front of the drain I quickly realized that I should have put it on the outside of the two small side walls. There isn't anything to secure the ends of the top plates to and I can't put blocks in between the floor joist because of the drain. So I had to unscrew the bottom plate and cut a new piece. So my mistake may cost me $4.47 and about 1 1/2" of space. The wall will sit out 1 1/2" further that I had planned.

I think that was the only place I could make that mistake but it's not the end of the world. Let's hope I can learn from this and get more walls up efficiently.





It's really starting to look like walls.
