thursday

on thursday we split up into to groups to start building our wall frames. we split the house down the middle and did half the wall framing each group our first frame we completed was together so we had a understanding of our own. it was simple we chose a wall to completed each got the top and bottom plates wich we marked out yesterday, we counted how many studs there were onthe the plates then cut them at 2330mm because our walls were 2400 andthe top and bottom plates were 35mm thick we cut the noggings in then cut the thickness of the windows and then nalied it all together with the nail gun.
wemarked where the bracing went on a 45 angle then cut 19mm cuts where needed across the brace and nailed it temperarywhen all the frames were done we could start the assambley . i think on that day we olny got 4 walls up and braced
