So I am building a small 8Χ10 lawn shed. My question is on the end walls I need to start my stud layout from the end that will be added when I raise the wall so as to mimic where the siding will start

So I need to subtract 3.5 from my start point and make my first mark at 19 3/4. (24” Cl) Sound about right?

So do I pick up the 24 center from that mark by moving the tape or do I need to stay pulling from the added 3.5 which would put my marks at 43 3/4 67 3/4 & 91 3/4.

Im thinking stay with the 3.5 subtracted all the way out but it doesn't come out right.....

I know newbie question LMAO
