On site for the whole day today, we got stuck into starting on the subflooring. Had to re-do a lot of the work from yesterday because the dumpy level readings we had taken were inaccurate - sure learnt the lesson that you have to get this stuff right otherwise it affects your work from that point on.
We got stuck into preparing the jack studs for our foundations. Learnt two different methods to do it from both Rich & Marty. Marty laid a string line out at CG, & then measured from sole plate to stringline at intervals of 800mm to ascertain height of jack studs, which were then cut and attached then braced. Rich showed us a more precise and accurate method using the dumpy level to give us a reading (as this takes away the sag you may get in the stringline). We had fixed this height based on calculating particle board, bearer & joist measurements (as shown in above picture of Rich at the whiteboard). Didn't quite get it done on one of the houses by the end of the day, whereas the other house was starting on prepping the bearer. Oh well, always tomorrow!
