tuesdy and wensday

on tuesday we were in the liberary for half of the day researching individualty on the dirrerent types of external wall cladding.
we had to research 4 different types, i chose 2 james hardi products. one was hardi flex sheets which i already knew about form working with this product on site.
the second product was hardi plank weatherbord which we use on some of our gables on site as well.
when lookin up timber cladding i took in new information which has helped me with putting wall cladding into practice.
the second half of the day we started a booklet on wall cladding and sheeting, it was to take offs , costs and calulations of how much product we needed.

on wensday first thing,we went over the research we did yesterday as a group. then we worked out how much cladding we needed for the walls we have allready completed outside in our little house, it took me a while to work out the maths, but it came to me in the end.
once we worked out how much we needed we split up into groups of three and started cladding a wall, greg and i completed half the wall and will finsh it off the next day. i found it fun and lernt new things
