We'll see. I'm still unsure how to build the left wall in sections. The right side was easy with the split of the door opening. I may just try to keep going and build the whole left side at once. It's a lot harder without the template. Having to go off the plan I made is a lot more work. :)
It may be too late, but you should be able to use the frame you have on the right side...to make the left side.

As far as the sides are concerned, I'd make it in sections, and then bold the sections together. Just allow for the framing to match up with siding, and interior wall sections. As a carpenter, I'm sure you'll be fine with this.:)
If, you can't take the right section back down, you may still be able to use the old section that you used as a template....even for the opposite side....just remember it's the opposite side:S
Good Luck
