So today we got as far as we could with the Facia.We are now waiting for the last piece to arrive to finish it off.I set up a string line with dodge and blocks to re check the outriggers.Some were out due to the timber warping,so i nailed some packers to the end of the outriggers to get a nice straight facia on the house.I then moved on to doing soffits.They were marked at 200mm centers for the flat heads to be nailed into the soffit plate.Then found the centers of the out riggers which were 900mm on the width of the house.and 600mm on the length of the house.Plastic slots were cut at 605mm for the soffit cement board to slot in to.

Getting the Facia to the correct height.

All the Facia that we have done.

I had ago at weather boards as well.The building paper was already chalk lined ready for me to put the weather boards up onto.Brad,used the skilly to cut a slot out of the board for where the back door was.Our ends were painted with primer to prevent rott and swelling by outside conditions.We should have the rest of the weather boards finished next week when we return,along with the Soffiets and facia when the rest of the materials arrive.

A few of the walls have been straightened on the inside as well due to people removing the internal bracing when they should not have.Now the rest of the ceiling battons are being nailed off ready for gib.
