That view is amazing !!! I'd be real happy seeing that every dayTrain's picking up some speed now. Pouring next week whenever a pump truck is available. Have some loose ends to tie up. Little more bracing, box in the windows, door, etc.

The bottom plate is the 2x6 that all the studs get attached to. In other words, the bottom of the wall. Here its treated lumber. My house was lifted back in the early 70s and theres a run of copper flashing between the cement and first plate. I think it was called a termite shield back in the day but Im not sure if thats the correct term. I think new homes down here have to have the wood framing strapped with metal ties to the cement walls. Rafters have to be strapped too. Hurricane ties. Adds quite a bit to the cost.Large round holes are where the "footers" for the posts that will hold up the center beam thru the middle of the house in the basement. Wood supports were a catwalk used when filling the walls with concrete. Opening for the door was way oversize to account for the floor and insulation. Not sure what you mean when you say bottom plate and the cement walls.
