The morning session started with a review of the calculation for area [length x wide] and then the area cubed [length x width x depth] these calculations were used to work out how many piles [ordinary piles and anchor piles - on the plans T1 -ordinary piles 24 / T2 - anchor piles 8] approx. 1 hour

Then we went out to work on the house
Boundary joist first [15.5 Lm up each side / then 7.1 across the ends] we fixed the boundary joist to the bearer with clumps [temporary] took diagonal measurements to check if it was all square [done]
           
Then we started cutting and fixing the joist [7.1m] and temp nailed them in [3 hours]
