13th June

Tools used: 8m tape, fold rule, knife, pencil, straight edge, corking gun with gib adhesive, screw gun, small saw to cut out small holes in the gib, hand saw to cut bigger holes

Most of the day was up at the other build carrying.

We had to clear and clean areas we were going to store and hang the gib. When the gib turned up we had to unload it into the house.

From there Mark and Cam show us how to put up the gib, doing one wall in a room. Cutting the gib to length [being hang horizontal - only need 2 sheets per wall], then showing us to measure from only one side to cut out holes for the hot points, and also around windows.

Plus also learnt about the bracing element, were the screws were put in at 50, 50, 50, 75, 75, 150 from the top and bottom of the sheet, and at 200mm spacings
