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.
