this week at tafe we have been looking at hip and valley roofs. we got straiight into making a hip and valley roof using wall frames as the walls. i had to make up a couple of wall frames to create an L shape in order to produce a valley. after it was all set up we plated it and started measuring half spans and marking out the roof. we worked at 600 centres. the other boys began cutting out the main roof and i cut out all the minor roof.
i jumped up with renno and mike to put up the main roof. it went together quite well and was a big improvement from the last time we cut roof out. the roof went up and we framed out the gable at the end of the house. then we worked out the scotch valley we were going to put in and cut the rafters for that. it all went together pretty good.
ater this we went into the classroom and begun working throught the hip and valley work book. we carried on and did this wednesday too, along with some other work sheets on ordering and working out how to order timber for a plan. on thursday we finished the work book and went to the library to type up our construction sequences.
