Default Weatherboarding over concrete blocks

My wooden workshop is old - old when I bought the house 30 years ago -
and the weather facing face requires major surgery.

The original frame was just sitting on the concrete base and has
rotted totally at the bottom. I've decided to build a row of standard
concrete blocks onto the concrete and then rebuild the framing onto
that with a dpm.

What I would like to do is to continue the new weatherboarding down
over this row of concrete blocks - looks rather than anything else -
but can't immediately see a satisfactory solution to do this. The
blocks are 200 mm high and it would a row and a half of the
weatherboarding.

Looking for neat suggestions please.

Many thanks

Rob
