frame construction
today we just carryed on from last week with straitening the frames we stood. my job was to measure the intreanl frames an make sure thay were all paralell. after plumbing the frames noticed that none of them were paralell so i got my tape an hooked it over the external frame and did a running measurement along with the plans i moved the frames to where thy were ment to be working from 1 end to the other end. i then moved across to the hall way side of the room and did the same measurements. i then got the 30m tape and did an overall measurement and referd to the plans to see if i was close to where i was supose to be.

internal framing
today we started to nail up the intrenal frames. 1st i tacked the top and bottom plate together. i then marked out where the studs go. 600mm centures for gib fixing. and also marking out where jack studs full studs blocking an trimmer studs go
X = full stud.
J/S = jack stud.
T = trimmer stud.
B = blocking.
after i had the top an bottom plate marked out i pulled the nails out an started laying down studs between the plates. i startd at the end of the wall an nailed in the 1st stud using 90mm paslode gun nails 2 in each end of the stud. once i had the 1st 1 in i just carryed on down the wall an put the blocking an studs in. once i got to the door i look at the plans to see how wide it was. the door was 760mm wide plus 30mm each side of the door for jams an then another 10mm on each side for packing an clearance which made my all up measurement 840mm. i marked on the top an bottom plate 45mm back from the other end of the wall an marked it T for trimmer stud. then another 45mm for the full stud.then measured back 840mm from the trimmer stud mark an sqaured that mark. after that i measured back another 45mm an 90mm marked the 1st 45mm T an the 2nd wit X for full stud. once i nailed all the studs in i cut a top lintel for the top of the door. 2 peaices of 90mm/45mm nailed together stood up on there edge. once that was nailed in i cut 2 small peaices on 90mm/45mm to fit above the lintel and my wall was finished.
