7/5/12

To start off the day,I was given the simple task of giving each internal wall(top and Bottom plates at this stage) a number,so that when we are to refer to the building plans we know where they will be placed after we have nailed the studs in along with the blocking an dwangs.Our Studs were cut to 2360mm and our blocking ranged from 350mm-250mm in length,these are also to be within the chalked line for the dwangs.

I marked down all these numbers on a fresh plan so we all know where the walls are to be placed,I then moved onto building the sound proof wall with Takey and Brad.We used 75x45mm H1.2 treatment wood.We then zig zaged the studs and nailed them to the top and bottom plates.All our measurements were transfered from the top plate to the bottom whilst still being tacked together to prevent future issues.Our best piece of the two plates is to be used for the top ,as the top plate is harder get straight.
