Here is a pic of how I tied the wood walls into the foundation to keep anything from moving. These 12 gauge steel clips we use at work and work perfect to tie in the wood also.
Maybe the best pic I have been able to take of the front...much better without the scaffolds...
Prior to finishing up working on this before winter I would still like to:
Get brick completed at the front...
Install posts at the back for the porch and stairs to the basement...
Install the bottom layer of Tyvek and siding...
Install basement windows and bars...
Install basement door and light above door...

At that point everything is sealed up tight and can be locked up...
I still have a full kitchen remodel to complete for the wife...
