week six

week six consisted of the completion of the sub flooring which included the start from a jack stud/pile to the bearer up towards the joists and the completion of the joists also nogging was required to go in between all the joists at two different points and through the centre at allocated points of the sub floor just to provide extra strength once all the joists were put in to position we used wire dogs/ z nails to fix the joists to the bearers permanently and began to look at markings for the floor sheets which are made up of particle board in majority of the floor except for wet areas such as the bathroom and toilets there we will be using 20 ply wood because of its tendency to withstand more water than the particle board
