So this morning we went to the second house located on the corner of Keith street and Tremaine ave that second semester had not finished.We were to install the wall Gibb.We piled into the UCOL van and headed to the work site.Once we arrived we waited for the truck to arrive from ITM with our resources.After that We got shown how to put gibb up.Mark showed us what to measure,and what screw patterns that were to be used in a braced area.

When using a screw gun in a braced area,measure 50mm,50mm,50mm,75mm,75mm,75mm,150mm,150mm,75mm,75mm ect.Start with smaller gaps at the start and slowly progress using bigger gaps for your screws.Before screwing the Gibb up,We used gibb fix adhesive,(glue),blobs at 200mm distances on dwangs and studs.Then I put my rule down on the ground for the gibb to rest on givng me a 10mm clearance at the bottom,Once all nice and firmly placed to the studs then screw it off.

When it comes to putting up Gibb with openings and hotpoints.measure where the opening and hotpoints are to be placed.Use a keyhole saw to cut the gibb,Without making a mess.then for the wider openings a handsaw is used.
