Framing members

At what height did you place all your lintels and why
The lintels were placed at 2010mm height because

What points did you consider when setting out wall frames

Studs were spaced at 1200mm centre to centre for the cladding
Nogs were spaced out 800mm

How many nails did you use to fix studs to the bottom and top plates what size and finish
3 nails nailed on the side

Flooring

Heres a link for a flooring company :

We had to make an template that would allow the foil to hand 100mm down. Once we made the template we rolled the foil across the joists and nailed em. We made sure the foil was running straight and touching the edges. If there were any holes then we had to go over the top again.
We then had to cut and measure the floor board and cut two parts to cover one half & the other 3 parts.
There was a nailing pattern for the flooring.

Last Week Day 1

Before we started on the roof we had to straighten the walls and made sure there plumb.
Nick told us how to contruct and the safety aspects of scaffolding. It was quite easy you only need 3 people to put it up.
Whilst uga and william were cutting the rafters and chiselling them the rest of us were chiselling the bottom plate for the holding straps.

Last Week Day 2

Bracing requirementshow can we identify bracing elements from the plans
why did we fix bracing straps on the trimmer studs and the lintels.
how many nails did we use and what nails were they.

Roof framing
Name the two roof framing members that you placed on the roof today
At what centres were they.

Now had to make our own scaffold out of timber , it was quite easy coz there were already some parts made all we had to do was nail em together and plumb and square them.
Now that we can work on the top with the roof we measured and marked out the top plates of the back and front walls then put on the rafters and skew nailed em to the plates but not home so we can adjust if somethings wrong.
Then we marked the two end rafters and string lined em then cut the purlins and held em secure next to the string line and nailed.

Project Saw Stool

Making The Saw Stool

A saw stool is also called a saw horse. It has four legs, which can be made of timber or pressed metal. The head is made of timber.

A saw stool is normally used as a bench to hold timber, whilst it's being sawn.

Housing

- On the top mark out 150mm from each side and measure 70mm from there and mark out.

- Then with a marking gauge measure 20mm in from the edge then flip around and mark 2mm with the gauge.

- Clamp top on vice then to cut the sides of the housing joint use a tenon saw because it leaves a clean cut then use crosscut to cut the middle lines.

- Once the lines have been cut i used the chisel to cut the waste ( before cutting scribe the outside lines with the chisel blade so you dont cut over the line ) or end up with splits.

- Check to see if square with try square rule and make sure there are no gaps. check all for joints and then sand with a block of timber to keep an even surface.

Legs

- Marked each leg & joint 1,2,3,4 because all joints might have a different angle.
- Held the top bit against the housing joint and marked 2 points and ruled a line and matched those to the other side then cut with tenon saw.

- Once the line has been cut check to see if it can fit if not then plane off a little at a time and check keep doing this until it fits.

                What steps were there cutting legs to size

-Cleats

- Marked each cleat 1 and 2 and held it against the legs and marked out.

- Adding an extra 2mm to the marked line so we can plane off. Clamped it to the table and cut with tcross cut saw ( cutting on waste side )

-  Then hold against legs again and mark the sides for the position. Find the middle and mark a line down for the nail positions. Hold down firmly while drilling 3 holes on each side.

- Then apply glue and nail cleats to legs but dont hammer to hard jus enough for 3mm hanging out then nail punch them in.

- Once there nailed you can start planing on a angle do not go right to the end turn around and plane that direction.

                Tricks of planning

Braces

- Marked 50mm from one side then swap then on the other corner mark 50mm then match points together and you end up with a diagonal

- Put timber on vice and make sure the line looks plumb then cut halfway with crosscut saw and turn around and and cut other half.

- Put 2 pieces together flat on a table and hold together firmly and nail two.

- Once clamped together plane and check if square.
