Great idea man I'm gonna do just that!!...thought about spraying gluespray to the floor and roll the insulation tape but staples to the bottom plate...simply brilliant!! I'm learning too😂
The end of your measuring tape has a small horizontal slot on it. It's called a nail grab. It's there to help you measure distances when you're working by yourself. Just put a nail or screw where you want to measure from, clip the tape on and you're all set. Then just remove that screw or nail when you're done measuring.
This is a project I have been put off for few years, I am in Nevada so NOW is that perfect time, actually around May which is a darn fine month to be working outdoors, I expended 1K on a short load on the side of the property to make the shed there as this would give me the max space of almost 7 ft x 28 but I think I will do something like this like 16 x 12 which is a good size shed or maybe a future small room; awesome video; I am about to get the Mudmixer; cant do this without it.
The wording I think you were looking for on the wedge anchors would be from R403.1.6 Foundation anchorage "There shall be a minimum of two bolts per plate section with one bolt located not more than 12 inches (305 mm) or less than seven bolt diameters from each end of the plate section" Also, the wedge anchor manufacturer will recommend a minimum of 28 set days for the concrete before drilling and installing a wedge anchor with some builders rushing it in 7-10 days or sooner.
Staple the insulation on the bottom of the sill plate and I would have put up your siding before erecting the walls. It’s easier to nail and square up.
The sill insulation is normally hammer stapled to the bottom of the base plate before placing it. If your base plate system was square and your corners were plumb, then the top plates are square as well. Each wall should have been plumbed and secured with a temporary diagonal brace as they were stood up. The big error may have been not using treated base plates which are commonly used for wood/concrete contact.
May want to comment that any wood in contact with concrete needs to be pressure treated. I see that you're using a pressure treated sill plate, but you didn't mention why. Specially, since a lot of amateurs are using this video, it may be beneficial to explain about the moisture and the benefits of the pressure-treated sill plate.
Do you want to know to realize you made an infirmative video. Assume the audience is deaf.turn off the volume and realize the visual experience of infirmation is worthless.
Staple the sill foam to your bottom plate before you stand your wall up! 👍🏻
Brilliant! Thank you for your valuable comment. Hopefully, other amateurs will see it and benefit from it.

Just use pressured treaded wood next time on your sill, good job
Great series of videos Wil! I'm in the planning phases of building my own shed. You show that DIY's CAN do this.
Thank you for your comments. I hope your shed goes well.

Very nice! I love it! Thank you.
A fine video and a nice build, Wil. Hope the shed provides exactly what you need when executing future projects. Enjoyed a full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 5/17/3

Looks pretty good
Thank you.
Nice videos , greetings from Spain 👍
@Gab's Workshop Thanks for checking in from Spain.
I really enjoyed the last 2 videos. Was sad part 5 wasn't out yet. I think you found your channel niche. 👍
Thanks. Part 5 is coming soon. I am moving slowly.

Except when doing this by yourself and placing the siding or boxing on first it would no longer be a one person job.
@Jishula Hartle Good call. Thanks.
Just add a little adhesive caulk to the cement where the sill seal goes, and it will hold it where it's supposed to be until you can get the wall set.
Thanks.

Brilliant! Thanks.
