4th till 6th April

On Monday we had a mornng class were we went over and worked on ou assgnements.  In the afternoon we d our site safe trainin learning about keeping safe and identifying hazards on th worksite.  Tuesay morning margi came in for the tutorial and gave a quick lesson on how to write out paragraphs.  After that we kept working on our tech drawings which we had to hand in wednesday morning. After lunch we couldnt do profiles becaus of the rain, so we went back to the workshop and carried on with the saw horses, i put my cleats on and now just need to put on the braces.  Today on wednesday i handed in my tech drawing before first class.  We had a video on the hilti gun, learning saftey information for using it.  Second period we were down on the field starting our profiling exercise  Using the dumpy levels, marking out our FFL on our corner stakes, and seting up our string lines for our boundary lines.  we put in our profile pegs on all four corners, and using the dumpy level marked out our FFL so we could out up our batter boards.  Then we measured out from one corner the distance from our boundary lines which created a crossovere for our house string line, we then carried this round the other 3 corners, and finally measured the diagonals and adjusted them so they were the same length.  We also did our practical for the hilti license today.
