[M----- ]= left hand side rigid wall       
[N----- ]= right hand side rigid wall
[A----- ]= rear rigid wall
[B-----] = front rigid wall

[N1] = The amount of Gib required and the wall it will go on [BL1] = the type of Gib board used [0.4] = the measurement in mm
[N2] =  the amount of Gib required and the wall it will go on [BL1] = the type pf Gib board used [0.4] = the measurement in mm

(REFERRING TO THE FLOOR PLAN ABOVE)

[F1]  = lets us know that what your looking at is the sub floor frame

[A] = the black blocks that are marked [A] signify that those piles will need to be anchor piles and the remaining will be normal piles

WEEK FOUR

This week began with us being in the class and we were given a class group team task of creating a poster showing the different requirement needed for a site sectioning such as the SITE SET OUT which is given to us BOUNDARY PEG, BOUNDARY LINES, BUILDING LINES, TIMBER PROFILES,  and what we didn't really touch on was the METHOD PYTHAGORAS  also we had the opportunity to draw cross sections based on the sub floor framing we got given the chance to update our blogs in the computer room for the remainder of the afternoon on the follow day we were given the opportunity to complete our  joint exercise  and were taken out in to the site to get a chance to use the DUMPY,AUTO LEVEL, LASER LEVEL a dumpy is an optical tool used by either SURVEYOR to measure the horizontal check points are the same or a BUILDER to transfer ,set or measure the horizontal levels of the landscape the DUMPY  is set on the TRIPOD and then it must be set according to the spirit level situated on the side of the optical lens.It has 3 ADJUSTING  LEVELS  a  ZOOM  and a FOCUS knob under neath the lens is a screw on  fastening used for a lose screw used to brace the lens on to the TRIPOD  we were also told about the FALL it is the measurement up from the level horizontal plane in this case our fall is 120mm from 150mm which in this case is going to be ground level we were also shown the PYTHAGORAS it is the measurement of the hypotenuse which is the distance located opposite the right angle of a right angle triangle to find this measurement we must find out the two measurement of the remaining walls of our triangle add them together using the power of two method which is to multiply a number into itself using no more and no less  then its equal amount equal amount to receive a a number that is to the power of 2 or squared (i.e 444x444= 197'136=A)(i.e777x777=603'729=B) after you have gotten both sides of the triangle using this method you must add those numbers together to get an answer which you must square root that final answer to get the exact measurement (i.e 197'139=A ,603,729=B)(i.e A+B=HYPOTENUSE)(i.e then you square of the HYPOTENUSE) and then you get your answer. The following day was spent in the work shop finishing our joint exercises once we had completed that we then went on to creating our saw horses. we were shown the thickneser machine which planes down wood too any measurement  by setting the thick electronically. once set you feed your plank through the instructed side. The other machine that was shown to us was the buzzer. It planes(refines) the desired side of the timber you must be very careful not to run your fingers over the blade . In the afternoon Sue Bartlet came in and told us about communication,and the barriers in which can get in the way.Such as emotional problems that can be occurring which would cause a break down in communication.Another one could be noise that could distract the the student there for failing to hear a message then been asked to share the mess but the noise distracted the student  could cause problems and  therefore failing to communicate properly .Kerrie Brown also gave us a reminder and continuation on safety in the work place and the importance of there role in the institute

WHAT IS A SITE SET OUT

A site set out consists of 

BOUNDARY LINE
a boundary line is a line which defines the most furthest point in which your construction can reach.At no time can the construction pass this boundary line.because you will have to move the whole building.
it will be time consuming and cost alot  to do so

BOUNDARY PEGS
Boundary pegs are short whites peg like timbers with a copper nail on top. Used  not only set out the boundary line it helps on houses that are on an odd angle,using the peg as a marker it does this by using set out lines. They are measurements set out from the peg to determine the position of the building




BUILDING LINE

The building line is the line in which you have proposed to have your building to be erected.



PROFILES
Is a timber construction held together by a batter board.It is used to to give a guideline to where the proposed building line is going to be.It can be no closer than 900mm to the building line to allow for access around the building

WEEK THREE

During this week  we started the sketch of our floor plan trying our best to use the scale rule to effect in our drawings we were able to label and name all the sub floor parts such as PILES, FLOOR BEARING, FLOOR JOISTS, and with these part we were told to measure the needed quantity and set a price for each of the certain types of timber required such as 

4xBEARINGS(H3.2 treatment)
2 BEARINGS @5.700m
2 BEARINGS @4.320m
 
7xBARRIER JOISTS (H1.2 treatment)
2 REAR JOISTS @5.700m
4 SIDE JOISTS @3.100m
1 FRONT JOIST @4.320m

10xJOISTS @2.065m(H1.2 treatment)

10xNOGS @.387m

our tools were also distributed out to us and all our stationary  which included

TOOLS:
1xHAMMER
1xRULER
1xMEASURING TAPE
1xCOMBINATION SQUARE
1xHANDSAW
1x19mm CHISEL
1x32mmCHISEL
1xBUILDERS PENCIL

1xRED PEN
1xBLUE PEN
1xBLACK PEN
1x2H PENCIL
1x EL-531WH CALCULATOR
1xSKETCH PAD
1xFOLDER
1xRULER

and to end off week three we spent the whole day in the work shop perfecting our joint exercises which consisted of the CORNER HALVING, STOPPED TEE HALVING, SINGLE DOVE TAIL HALVING AND THE DOVE TAIL HALVING how ever we did not get to attempt the dove tail halving due to the time we also learnt to cut the angle of the single dove tail halving which i thought would prove to be a challenge  but a steady hand and a-lot of concentration proved the job to become a simple task  

WEEK TWO

This week we started on our joint exercises and it was the first day in the workshop.We were introduced to specific hand tools that were required for this exercise such as a handsaw,  combination square, hammer, chisels and most importantly the different classes of wood we are required to use and the many terms that they are refered to such as the 10,8,6,4, and 3x2 or otherwise known as the 70x45. In the afternoon the library was on the agenda, as Ingrid showed us all the different services that were available to us as students of the institute.We were also given the opportunity to use the very intricate dewy decimal system that had been put in to place by staff. to gather certain books that would prove very helpful in our journey.Ingrid was kind enough to show us more helpful resources in from of Internet by using the EMIT network, there we were able to  follow different links to get to what we wanted to find such as the MONTIE SAFETY PROGRAMME which would prove helpful as the programme progressed.the following day we continued to practise on our joinery pieces we were shown the right way to use our chisels so that the edges of our pieces would not be blown out we got the angles required for our dove tailing cut outs and later on that afternoon we were back int to the computer room where we shown how to post in to our blog and also how the emit  programme  would prove an advantage to our studies  and before the day ended we entered the lab for the first time and there i created my own blog on the blogger website on the Wednesday we were shown the cross section of the sleep out we were building in time to come.And the make up of  the sub floor  these include  the joist,bearing,piles and other components  we continued with our joinery pieces we had the chance to use the power tools for such as the drop saw and the wall  grinder above all that we we given the instructions on how to use the power tools correctly  without harming ourselves as well as our class mates

WHAT IS A POWHIRI

A powhiri is a traditional Maori welcoming ceremony that would usually involve a
korero(talk)
kanikani(dance)
waiata(song)
and a hongi which is the traditional Maori greeting using the nose instead of the common hand shake the powhiri can serve two purposes such as welcoming manuhiri(visitors) onto the marae(sacred building) or to dedicate the actual building powhiris can be perfromed for tourist groups as part of a special event

below is a picture of a hongi



HEALTH AND SAFETY

health and safety is an important task to undergo when dealing with the construction industry.
It could mean the difference between life and death for you and the workers around you so it is the job of the department of labour to make sure that your work place is a safe environment to be able to work in. this means that anything you use to help you complete your job is safe to operate and also is not going to harm anyone. The D.O.L also visit to see if the way you operate any equipment is unsafe for you and the people around you so my opinion is it is basic common sense if you ask me

WHAT HAVE I LEARNT?

So far i have learnt  about the safe use of tools.And also the reason why they should be used in a safe manner, for instance like making sure the guard on the drop saw is working properly otherwise it could get stuck on the object your cutting and the drop saw could jump and cause whoever is operating the  drop saw serious injury maybe even death. also along with the safety of other electrical tools used in the trade.

WEEK ONE

on week one i started class and we were taken through a health and safety talk regarding our safety in and around the campus we also were introduced to the student services and took a tour around both north and south campus we had the security come in and talk to us regarding the services they provide and showed us the location on where they could be found around campus a powhiri was also on the agenda on week one giving us an opportunity to meet and greet other students whom were in-rolled on the second semester along with us above all that we had a basic run down on the different power tools we would be using and the safety precautions used when dealing with these different tools we began a rough we learnt the different attempt on drawing the sleep outs we are going make and also received and engraved our ear muffs we learnt why scales were used on drawings and why we didn't need a consent from the council for the sleep out and after all that we were set homework to explain what the treatment H3.1 meant.
