Back side of the house.

We went back over scaffolding today to refresh our minds about the names of the members.We then went ahead with the house build.Me and Haydn carried on with the Soffiets,Got all of the ones done that we had access to.200mm centers for the nailing off to the soffiet plate and 830mm centers for the outriggers.The boards slot into the plastic tabs.After this Me and Brad continued on with weather boards.We managed to get ,most of the boards up for half of the house.The cut ends were primed up.Then the boards were nailed to the studs.The next thing we done was grabbed a straight edge and ruled down the boards as to where the studs are behind the boards.Then i used the builders square,and adjusted it to 35mm and marked off where the holes were to be pre drilled.Jolt head 3 inch nails were then nailed in to fix the boards to place.

Window Flashings were also being put in by another group,Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get stuck into them aswell just to speed things up a bit.The Ceiling battens are basically all in place now and ready for the gib.We should have the windows all tacked and nailed in.The top flashings will be finished tomorrow.

I think we will be starting to build a timber scaffolding in the next week or 2 for our assessments which will be good.
