When i was a kid the only way to balance wheels on cars was the primitive looking system with a bubble level that the technician would try to get on dead center. And back then i never remember any of our family cars having a vibration. Now everything is computerized but is it really superior to the primitive bubble level balance devices? It seems like i get a wheel tire vibration frequently and i have my wheels and tires rotated and balanced every 5000 miles. So have cars gotten more sensitive to tire vibrations? Has the change from bias ply polyester tires to steel belted radials caused this anomaly? I'm curious to hear the wheel and tire experts explanation of this discrepancy.
Even on the 16' wall you and her should be able to raise it. Just get one end started then the other by putting a saw horse or such under it back and forth. Once half way up each can get a hand easy. Have the board to brace it and such handy. rd

The only difference I have found is the mess they make stick incense is messier because burning cones is usually done in a cone burner and with sticks the ashes fall and blow around very easily.

Whenever you can build a wall on the ground and tilt it into place that's what you should do. There isn't anything drastically wrong with building a wall in place and toe-nailing it to the bottom plate. I have built many gable end walls this way.But if you can avoid it Fill a cooler with some of your friends favorite drinks and call a couple of them over! If you must build it in place I would recommend marking your layout and nailing the king studs, trimmers, headers and maybe the corner studs through the bottom plate and first top plate and then raising the wall. As long as you don't have too many doors and windows (I don't imagine you do in a shed) the wall should be light enough for you to lift. As another said, use a kicker to keep the bottom plate from sliding. There are many options for raising the wall: maybe it will be light enough for you to lift: you can cut 2X4 braces and attach them to the top plate with gate hinges and nail some blocks to the floor; as you lift the wall the braces slide along the floor and once past the blocks you can have some 'resting' places. The safest options for raising the wall by yourself are the winch mentioned in another answer if you have a tree or something else to use. There is also a device I have only heard called a wall jack you can rent. It's kind of like a very tall off-road Jeep jack. Attach it to the floor and the top of the wall and crank it on up. You need to use one every several feet depending on how heavy the wall is. Once you have the wall up go ahead and slide the common studs in place and nail them through the top plate then toe-nail them to the bottom plate.
