I deliberated over how to put the studs in for this face for a while. I knew the bottom joist would be really long and potentially not too sturdy if I didn't get it solidly in there, so I wanted all the vertical studs screwed into it well (the screws going from the underside of the joist up into each stud.) That wasn't going to be possible if I put the joist on the frame first.
I laid the joist sideways, and lined the studs up against it on the ground, and assembled the whole thing laying down. Then I carefully stood it up into the frame and propped it up on some scrap wood. The studs didn't all quite line up (not a surprise, given the scale of this stuff.)
I finally ended up getting the jack out of the trunk of my car and putting it underneath each stud, jacking it up until the stud was snug against the frame above it, and toenailing some screws in to secure it. Lower the jack, move on. It worked remarkably well.

Totally fed up with being horizontal after my operation the "Gang" and I with me hobbling along on crutches behind decided to take an afternoon to go around the fabulous Old Bladbean Stud. Part of the "ngs" national garden scheme, a charity where private and economic gardens open on special days to raise money for the following charity's:
Macmillan Cancer Support - Marie Curie Cancer Care - Help the Hospice - Carers Trust - Queen's Nursing Institute - NT Gardening Careerships - Parkinson's UK - Perennial and the Garden Museum. Old Bladbean Stud nr Stelling Minnis comprises five interlinking gardens created from scratch by the current owner who we met and discussed the thinking behind the design. There is a walled garden full of old fashioned roses, a white and a yellow garden, long lawn and Victorian borders stuffed full of roses, lupins, delphiniums, alliums, fox-gloves, grasses and organic vegetables and fruit. The whole site is self sufficient using solar panels, wind turbines, heat exchangers and rain water collectors and the site is organic allowing the plants and insects to form a microclimate and to self seed. Fabulous, fabulous garden and open throughout the year to allow viewing of the garden throughout the seasons. Add a fabulous tea with "happy birthday size" pieces of home made cake and a brilliant afternoon was had by all!

Sorry no close ups or macros as I was unable to bend?
Another January weekend (21st & 22nd), with windy but otherwise very pleasant weather enabled me to make more progress than I expected. I have been able to complete the stud framing for the walls in 3 x 2 soft wood, using stainless screws to secure to the oak . The oak frame has not been designed to take wind loading so this has been incorporated in the stud work with four of the panels fully cross braced. I have used a further oak post and jointed into the sole and wall plates to frame the side door.
Studs were turned to charcoal in 1951 fire. The only thing holding up the wall was the stucco, windows, sheeting, and happy thoughts.
