Today we spent the afternoon cleaning up our work site. Loads of rubbish laying around to be disposed of, also sorting through timber around the place and throwing out what wasn't reusable and de-nailing those that were. Most of these lengths were cut into pegs to lay out for profiling & to put in sole plate for the in-step of the building as this was not pre done. When doing this, the plate needs to be pegged in securely with no movement, and the sole plate should be firm on the ground (compacted down) so that there is no sinking once load of the building is added. Also did the profiling of the site (as we did last week on the field), to work out our FFL and also the Building Line (BL). A lot more time was spent on bracing here as we have to be more wary of the loads being placed on these. In addition to what we did on the field, we also put up center profile for FFL with bracing. Today we really learnt the importance of getting the dumpy leveled before use & also reading the correct stadia line - getting this wrong will throw all measurements out for FFL, jack stud heights, height to boundary aspects.
Did our first tool box meeting as well to discuss hazards and safety aspects to be aware of (with tools being use, or to do with site directly).
