The wall is framed

The wall has been framed! I had a little trouble making the wall stiff, especially the leg that will come around the side of the fridge. It's only connected to the longer wall and the floor, so at first it seemed way too wobbly. To address that problem I added some diagonal bracing and a triangle of plywood on the top corner of the connection. To anchor the wall to the floor, I used both Tapcon screws (which I wasn't too sure about) and Hilti anchors (which seemed to have much better hold). Here are some pics of the framing going up:
