Us lifting the Gib into place.

We had to learn all of this for when we go out and work in the industry.After the class we went back to the build.We had all the sheets of gib in the house all laid out on dunnage.Me and Brad had done the ceilings in three rooms and then moved onto the lounge.I used my tape and measure from the internal walls to the light socket as to where we are to cut the gib for the wiring.Then glue was blobbed on at 200mm,400mm,800mm and 1000mm.Then the sheets were lifted up and fixed to the ceiling battens with the screw gun.3 screws per row per sheet.Since the lounge is wider then 6metres we were shown how to do a join that is need for the person doing the plastering.We used covebond which was mixed up in a container.12 litres of water to a 20kg bag for the exact amount to a bag.We mixed up the right amount and smered it onto some small offcuts of gib and then sandwedged the 2 sheets of gib together.2 nails were used to push the joins up a few mm's giving the gibstopper that groove for the tape and plaster to set in.

 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.

Jib that i cut for the small bedroom.

First wall done.

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.
