And after some more work, the rest of the OSB in that room is done. The orange paint shows where the walls will be, and you can see the vent coming up in the wall now for the odd bedroom.

Trying a different leveling method
After talking to my neighbor, I decided to try another way of floor leveling. Instead of having to cut a shim to go in between the joist and OSB, you just screw and glue a 2x6 to the side of the joist at the correct height. Doing it this way is significantly faster, and is much easier. Plus, it adds structural integrity to the house although it doesn't work everywhere. Here is the one of the first ones I tried, it also shows how much the floor sank in this part of the house. There is a spot 10' away which was 2.5" higher than this.
