Hi There,
I also am a first time builder and am also doing a Spring Run. I am getting close to closing the "football" on the hull now.
I found that the most stressful part was setting up the forms properly. Don't rush it. Check it twice ... three times.
Make sure you're happy with the forms. This is not the part to rush. Once you start stripping it becomes a lot more fun and you start seeing real progress!
I'm in NH so I'm not local. Still, keep posting. There is a lot of help here if you get stuck.

Rob
