WEEK TEN

This was the last week for the term it was mainly spent on touching up the soft fit nogs and measuring out the wall cladding for the wall of the sleepout we had to cut the angle from the roof to match up with the wall cladding so it was able to fit and not have any over hang or gaps between the cladding  a big clean up was put into progress at the end of the week

WEEK NINE

on this day we started the day back on site completing the nogs for the soft fit area the soft fit area is located at the end of the rafters towards the front of the sleep out the nogs are put in place there to provide  a platform in which nails can be driven into these nails will fix the fibre lite to the nogs after it has been slide in to place on the fascia board . a fascia is a board which caps of the ends of the rafters and are gennerally put into place for the purpose housing the spouting system and to add a better touch to the fly rafter which is located directly underneath we also startted the cavity battens system which consisted of a breather sheet attached the purpose of the breather sheet is to ensure that the most minimal water gets through once the braether sheet has been applied it is must then be cut at certain areas such as the opennings for windows and sliding doors .
