Yesterday we started off in the classroom where we talked about our research on different types of cladding. After that we went into the workshop and were shown how to set out a hieght prop which helped us set out the lining boards and the timber cladding. I thought it was good how we took a little bit of time to do this because it made it a lot easier later and it also means you wont get stuck with one little piece later.

Once we were out side we had to put some pieces of timber on the corners. This acts as a stopper and covers the ends of the cladding. After that we put some foil on followed by a strip of timber where the boards went. This is to bring the bottom of the bottom board out. Once we started cladding everything started to go good but we ran out of ceddar boards and had to put in a block and start above it with a sheet.
