Setting up Dodge and Block with string line to see if the Joist boundary is straight.

So today I carried on with routering,A new template was made so I could cut out a square on the barrier joists for the nail plates.When the nail plates are put in they are nice and flush with the wood,gives it a tidy clean finish.All bearers were completed.Dodge and block were set up on top of the joists again,some of the bearers needed to be packed.After this was done and level,the joists were nailed down with 4 inch galv nails by the nail gun.Me and Tom marked out the next set of blocking for the waldrobe.Me and Brad checked the measurements between each joist.450mm,in and over.The flooring is ready to be put down tomorrow.

Curtailed joists.
