Default Shed project question

have a dumb question about my shed project......I'm constructing a 12x16
shed. have poured concrete slab and put down one row of concrete blocks, I
will pick up lumber tomorrow. planning to use 5/8" *T-111 plywood siding.
Question is should I frame so that siding sits on top of concrete blocks or
should I frame with 2x4s to edge of concrete blocks and overhang siding?
Total height of walls including concrete blocks is 7' * * * * * * * * thanks


If you want the water that hits the walls to run into the shed then by
all means let the siding rest on the blocks. G Outside the blocks
should work OK. Some installers will chamfer the square bottom of the
siding 45 degrees toward the inside to have a nice sharp outside drip
edge. Paint the edge well, of course.
