Today I continued with the painting of the timber beams in the morning, but it was mainly of the main beams (225mm beams).
My new job for the day was to do the measuring for the drawing of the top stairs and platform.
- This was done by measuring the centres of each bay then setting out the gum poles at each bay’s centre according to each bay’s measurement. Each bay set out to have 3 gum poles.
- We premeasured the plan for further redrawing of the final plan.
- - I used an angle and leveler with the building line rope for the first time and understanding each of the instrument’s purposes and functions, also to measure out the perpendicular line.
- This allowed me to be familiar with construction equipment and measuring equipment.
- THE PLAN:
cHeErS....!!
