flooring continued

half of the house is now floored carrying on from yesterday worked with the plywood

floor

started off with the normal tool box talk discussing safety issues, then had to install girt cleats which held the joist and bearers together as seen in the picture to the left. After that we layed owt some sisalation foil for the insulation under the floor boards we the stable gun to hold the foil down an carefully spaced out the foil so it sagged into the gaps allowing for any wet liquid will slide an go through the wholes in the foil, after the foil was laid out, we nailed the floorboards down(particle board) an used decking nails to keep it in place, we then continued the same process till the end of class :)

today an yesterday

yesterday -finished off the nogging using 190x45 msg8 timber,shot a stringline from one end to the other end so we could nog in a straight line.wee den used the clamps so it tighten the the grip between the joist so we could put a nog in with out having gaps in between. started helping the others by cutting nogs for them, most of my cuts were good..jus was given wrong measurements so i swaped around with micheal to take down the measurement, then marty told us to move the bearer cause it was off so we used the sabre saw to cut the nails from the joist an bearer,we then cut five more post to go dwn as piles to replace the wuns on the sole plate.the bearer moving was a success,
today -carried on from yesterday with the nogging,marty told me o fix up the straightness of the timber that some of the boys did,so i used my dougy to pull out the nails.after that i used some wedges to bringing upp the timer so it was leveled with the plate covering the subfloor,after that i planed down the wuns overlapping the edge.after that i helped owt richards side an fixed all there mistakes :)

back to work

worked with a couple of the boys on the house we organised the diffent type of treated timber like H3.2 an H1.2...these types of treated timber act to prevent the timber frm being rotted out.we placed the green timber H3.2 in the wet areas of the house example kitchen, bathroom an toilets..
