Tuesday was a relaxed day, I helped around here and there but my main work was on the platform of the decking of the top stairs. I helped around so that I would have a feel and understanding of everything that happens on site, to learn about the materials, the construction, detailing and functions of each structure on site.
We worked in groups to screw on the timber trusses to the gum pole foundations and the wall plate. This was more exercise on using the spirit level and I even noticed that it also indicates perpendicular lines and parallel lines, this was a great discovery. After everything was connected we vanished the timber planks to protect it with from the elements using the same vanish as used on the timber trusses for the pergola, which was oil based called, pro-nature. After vanishing with one coat the frame work resembled steel in a rusty manner.
I am gaining more and more knowledge with regards to team work, this is a tough issue as everyone has their own ideas and thoughts, yet is very much a part of life and the working profession.
KEEP ON BUILDING IT!
