22/02/08

Yesterday we spent most of the day working on our cladding. I was Working with Rhys and i thought that we did a good job. We got our pine boards on really quick i believe this is because we got our end stopps on really straight and didn't have to measure all the boards. i also thoght that we did a good job cladding around the window because its a little bit tricky. when we had put a few boards on i compared it to the last wall and even though i think the ceddar boards look good i thought the pine looked just as goo because we had taken the time to pre drill all the holes so there wasn't one crack.

Today we started off in the morning by doing a bit of work on powder actuated tools. I thought that this was easy but at the same time i learned a lot. After some smoko we actually got to go out and fire one of the guns. The gun we fired was an indirect one which means there is a piston between the catridge and the nail. I was the second person to fire it and after the book work i was a bit nervous. After i fired it i was a bit suprised, firstly because it put a nail into concrete and also because the gun was nowhere near as bad as i thought it was gonna be. After that we finished the day by completing the booklet on the powder actuated tools and then organised our portfolio for the wall framing.
