Wall Framing to Enclose Existing Covered Porch

Currently I am enclosing this porch to create additional living space. This brief clip shows the wall framing being installed over the new elevated concrete. I used 2 X 6 Framing and tied into the existing roof beam which is 3.5 inches wide. The wall had to be built stick by stick as each piece had to be cut to a unique length and notched accurately to go around the 3.5 inch beam. There was a slope in the beam which is why each piece of wall framing had to be a different length.
