30/05/08

Today we spent all day ouside. In the morning we started off with work on our eaves and finished off pulling it all apart including the roof. I liked doing the eaves because i haven't had much experience doing this and it was sort of new to me. First off we started off setting out the boxed eaves. At first i didn't want to do it but once i got into it it was a lot easier than i thought. The most unusual part to me was cutting the notch out for the gutter to sit on but other than that it was all pretty similar.

the other type of eave we did was lined on the rake. this was deffinately a lot different to the eaves we do at work but still not really hard. the only part that i thought could really make things hard was the bottoms of the rafters. That is because all the rafters are a different width it is only a couple of mm and is allowed for with the birds mouth the only thing wrong with that is the way its done makes all the tops level. leaving the bottoms all over the place.
