-Travelled to ITM.
-Pythagoras,Maths.
-Set up Builders level and laser.
-Timber Terminology.
-Trusses.

Today we as a group travelled to ITM just outside of Palmy.We were shown the way that wallframing and trusses were constructed.The calculations are done via computers to get accurate cuts and angles.Trusses are to be built by someone who is qualified,you can't just make them and use them yourself.After they are nailed together they are put into seperate piles to make the build much more faster on site.We left ITM and headed back,Once we got back we moved onto the Timber Terminology.I learn't that Pinus Radiata is a widely used timber,mostly used on housing.It's a very strong and cheap wood to use.Easy to treat(Hazard Treatment,h1.3,h3.1,h3.2 ect) and easy to machine.After lunch we headed back for a Math session,Pythagoras,was the bulk of it,then we moved onto setting up the Builders level,The aim is to get the bubble in the circle to get an accurate reading on site,if not then the building could be all over the place.
