20th - 21st - 22nd August
This week was sspent finishing off the wall clading and roof cladding and scribers
Wall cladding - the final weather board along the top of the windows. Window head flashing had to be put in, then tape along the top edge to weather proof, from there, the weather board had to be cut to fit with bevel edges to join the next one onto.
Corners then could be finished off, with the cut back level and primed. Then the facing board put on, finishing with the scribers
Roof clading was just about finished, with another sheet required. Then the capping can be put up.

14th August
Tools: hammer, bevel, square, jig saw, drop saw, copping saw, ripping saw
Today we carried on with scribes down the windows and doors. Started with cutting a beveled edge for he bottom that sets on the sill. Then tacked it on the side, marking out the sides to be cut. Checked to see they fitted, cutting any extra out, prime then nailing in place.
Top flashing cut and put in on the top on the window / door
Then we measured and ripped down the weather boards to fit over the flashing and butting into the soffit. Then Matt went through and show how he wanted them cut around the top of the window and flashing

24th, 25th July
Tools:- hammer, punch, level, hand saw, 8m tape, pencil, cordless drill
Today helped build the wooden scaffold.
Then carried on with the wall clading. Running a level down the wall, where a stud is, marking down with a pencil, then measuring 40mm up, then marking with a cross. These holes are pre-drilled to stop the sliting of the weather boards when nailing them. The nails were then punched in.
Also helped finish of the soffit. Going into the corner.
Then we started measuring and cutting the sills out. First we measured the window or door frame -20 [for the overlap board on the frame] + 130 [65mm for the board] + 36 [2x 18mm] and + 80 [2 x 40mm]
