14/5/12

So today we were directed to a new classroom and Matt drew up a small diagram of which we had to label.This included studs,Trimmer studs,Jack Studs,dwangs,lintel,Double blocking.We were also shown how to mark out our top and bottom plates better.Matt also showed the class what to do and what not to do.

Once we had finished the session in the class we then moved on with the build,Me and Darren was given the task to go back over each internal wall and get the parallel measurements,A few were 1mm out,which is not bad,thats all that will be tolerated.Quite a few of my marks on the plates had been removed so we had to remark them using the plan that I had marked out for each wall.Turned out Wall 11 had not been constructed yet.So that was mine and Darrens next job,We built the wall and The markings on this wall were also wrong which ment we had to pull the wall apart again!Hopefully we will finish this tomorrow.The wall that we are building contains,Studs,Double blocking,Blocking,Trimmer studs,Lintel and jack studs.

Tomorrow we hope to get all the exterior walls all marked correctly so we can start building them and actually getting the walls put up.The walls will be braced to the floor on the inside.
