WEEK SIX

Today we cut and mesured the sheets for the floor and fixed them to the floor joists underneath we first had to measure distance from on our sheets to line up then nailed the sheets in and created the floor. From this point we fixed together our bottom plate for the rear wall made up of one treated 90x45, after this was established the bottom plate for the side wall was measured out and cut.Along with the top plate which will contact the front top plate at a lower height by the roof rafters to put the roof on an angle. we measured the distance from top plate to bottom plate for to determine the length of our studs that will go on the wall.Today we finished constructing together the the wall framing for both sides., with the required inserts for the windows  started the rear wall measured our studs for the rear wall and also put in our nogs and packers nogs are to provide a the studs with more stability for the framing of the wall, packers are designed for one purpose and that is to provide a binding point for the rear wall and the desired wall in this case it will be the side walls
