My foundation.

Right now I am getting ready to start putting up walls!

Great. Get it up, Jimmy. ;D

You probably already know this, Jimmy, but for ones who don't, it is easy to take your plan, layout the openings on your wall on the floor where they go, then lay out your top and bottom plate on the floor and take a square and mark both plates at once.  Take your tape, mark studs on one of the plates and with the square mark the line across both at once.

Sorry about boring you with simple stuff but new ones may not have done this. ;D

Other framing tips-anybody?

Goooo Jimmy!  The Habitat book has some good description and pictures of laying the walls out similar to what Glenn suggests.

Boy, I wish my subfloor was as far along as your's is.  

I've got concrete footers to dig and pour,
and concrete block walls to build (1500 block) for a 30'x57' main floor.

Maybe I'll be there by next spring.

By the way, your work looks good.
