for the last couple of days we have looked at roofing, ceilings and eaves. we constructed the cieling on our timber framed house and then proceeded to work out the roof. i found this quite easy because i have done this before. we all had a go at cutting diffrerent types of rafters. after strapping the hangers on the cieling, me renna and daniel got up to pitch the roof we cut out. we started with a pair of commons and each end then nailed on the jack. dan cut a hip so i cut the creepers to go on it. it was a fun excercise. however, we came across a problem when we nailed the commons onto the ridge. they weren't all the same length making the ridge out of the level (on the piss bigtime!) we will have to sort that out later. it was rainging today so we did a brown paper drawing on 3 different eave types.
boxed eaves
lined on the rake eaves
lined on the top eaves

this was quite enjoyable and i flew through it without any problems. we then started doing bookwork on the introduction to roofing.
