Hi Ditch, Start at top and make adjustment on bottom board. They say to keep bottom board 1 1/2 inch from the topsoil - maybe use cedar as rot board on bottom. Not sure I'm looking at your description correctly. Good luck. Bob

OT - Dang, I wish I was there too. Almost has to be cooler there. We should live closer, then we could trade labor. How is that job going? Took a while to get started as it seems every excavator around here is busy. Guy did a good job with a mess. Part of the building had concrete floor that would end up too high. Part had posts in concrete in buckets. Part was poured wall, and part was block wall. Most of the old footers had to go. He dug the footer on the low side, then dug down about a foot while pulling the dug dirt back, giving a place to get rid of all the debris. Well out of level, and want the finish floor to be about even with the blacktop where the hammer was sitting. Hope to get the block laid Monday and then I will have a better view. Get them laid, and I have a neighbor with a bobcat who should be able to grade it out for me. My old lead man was a mason before we got together. I get the mud pan and the hoe. Back survived spreading the block out, so I guess I will be ok. Did notice block are about 15/20 pounds heavier than they were thirty years ago. :) The shed in the background is in much better shape than the one I tore down. Shingles with no drip edge on a damn near flat roof. lol! If the main part of that building wasn't loaded with good fence posts, and a half dozen coils of good underground water pipe I would burn it down.
