over the past few days we've been stuck in the classroom doing theory. some of the worksheets we have been through include carpentry materials which was the last of our ttt studies as well as setting out buildings and the last worksheet we started this morning was subterranean flooring. these last two worksheets are the start of our job specific studies. we will have a test on them tomorrow.
as for practical work we have finished off learning how to use maintain and safely handle power tools. the last three we did were electric belt sander router and a jigsaw. as all have been used extensively on site this was no problem. something that was reasonable new to me on the practical side was setting out for a residential building. this included marking out the set back followed by erecting profiles which has been dumpy to correct height of the joists. followed by marking the front measurement using th side boundary then working out the back wall by measuring of front. then using 3 4 5 check for square then do the diagonals. if wrong divide the difference in half then move it over that distance. and keep moving till correct remembering to double check all lengths are correct.
