WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
over the last few days we have carried on with the concrete slab activities. we completed the set out of the slab and dug the trenches for our footings. we the made up the shutters using outriggers, braces, pegs and ply wood for the shutters. it was a little difficult setiing them up mainly because our pegs were not strong enough. we used old stakes when we should have made new ones up out of 90x35... after it was all in place and paul gave it the ok, we denailed and dissassembled it recycling the timber we used. we did a series of paper work and sections on concreting. we researched concrete and form ply, filled out costing sheets and order forms for the shutters and concrete. we also sat assessments on cladding, cladding calculations and wall frames.

TUESDAY
when i arrived today i was informed that our next project is preparing a concrete slab. so we talked a little bit about it in the withdrawal room then headed out to the site.
when we arrived there i noticed the fellas had got a boundary line and a couple of hurdles in on the previous day. we continiued on working out the boundary lines of an australind plan. after we got the hurdles in and levelled them off the datum point which was 1340. we then checked for aquare using the 3,4,5 technique and measuring our parrellels and diagonals.. after it was squared (which was a bit of a muck around) we started marking where internal walls were going to be and put hurles in there and transfering string lines to show the walls. paul then talked to us about the thickness of the bricks and told us to think about it so we can transfer the boundary marks into the outside of the internal wall. it was 160mm from our boundary.
we then went into the withdrawal room again and discussed all about making up the shutters for the concrete. we worked out what materials we needed and there sizes so we cut all them out and lugged them over to the site so that first thing tomorrow morning we are straight into it flat out nailing them together... stay tuned
MONDAY
