9/5/12

We were all told that we were off to the second semester house today to do some jibbing,It was a good opportunity to see what the house looked like and how ours will look like once the walls are standing.

We all got into the vans and headed off to the second house,Matt showed us the screwing pattern for the ceiling jib.5 screws at each end and 3 screws in the centers.A screw gun was used to do this,We used jib fix,to put 4 blobs of glue in increments of 200mm,We were to insert them where the glue wasn't put as when the glue drys it shrinks which would force the screws to uplift leaving imperfections on the jib.We also started to finish the bats so that the Wall jib is ready to be put up.

We measured the length of the ceilings and took off 10mm so it would fit in nicely,It took 6 of us to install all the lounge jib.Also the holes in the ceilings were measured for the lighting.It was done rather quickly.The tools I used were Screwgun,hammer,craftknife,builders spirit level and glue gun.
