So today we were directed to a new classroom and Matt drew up a small diagram of which we had to label.This included studs,Trimmer studs,Jack Studs,dwangs,lintel,Double blocking.We were also shown how to mark out our top and bottom plates better.Matt also showed the class what to do and what not to do.
Once we had finished the session in the class we then moved on with the build,Me and Darren was given the task to go back over each internal wall and get the parallel measurements,A few were 1mm out,which is not bad,thats all that will be tolerated.Quite a few of my marks on the plates had been removed so we had to remark them using the plan that I had marked out for each wall.Turned out Wall 11 had not been constructed yet.So that was mine and Darrens next job,We built the wall and The markings on this wall were also wrong which ment we had to pull the wall apart again!Hopefully we will finish this tomorrow.The wall that we are building contains,Studs,Double blocking,Blocking,Trimmer studs,Lintel and jack studs.
Tomorrow we hope to get all the exterior walls all marked correctly so we can start building them and actually getting the walls put up.The walls will be braced to the floor on the inside.

To start off the day,I was given the simple task of giving each internal wall(top and Bottom plates at this stage) a number,so that when we are to refer to the building plans we know where they will be placed after we have nailed the studs in along with the blocking an dwangs.Our Studs were cut to 2360mm and our blocking ranged from 350mm-250mm in length,these are also to be within the chalked line for the dwangs.
I marked down all these numbers on a fresh plan so we all know where the walls are to be placed,I then moved onto building the sound proof wall with Takey and Brad.We used 75x45mm H1.2 treatment wood.We then zig zaged the studs and nailed them to the top and bottom plates.All our measurements were transfered from the top plate to the bottom whilst still being tacked together to prevent future issues.Our best piece of the two plates is to be used for the top ,as the top plate is harder get straight.
