                                                EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING

Installing external wall (with ply wood) on window 2. Cutting out measurements on ply wood
to fit around window (one half of the window) nailed onto the cavity battens. Moving along till all external wall is covered.

TODAY WE HAD TO CUT BACK ON THE SIDES OF WALL, IT WAS TOO FAR OUT FROM THE FASCIA. SO WE CUT the top plates so can flush with the stud.

 

Finish that, now onto our roof cladding starting off by laying the self-support paper. Fixing it onto the purlin using flat head nails.

Drill all sheets (colour steel) for screws to hold it down on roof frame. Using roof screws.

 

SCAFFOLD

02/05/2011
                                                       SCAFFOLD
TYPES
: Connection systems for four different prefabricated proprietary systems

Specific recommendations to improve stability

• Position the scaffold as close as possible to the area being worked on.
• Apply the castor brakes while the scaffold is in use.
• Don't ride the scaffold while it is being moved.
• Maintain the height to width ratio.
• Use outrigger bracing.
• Add weight to the scaffold base to improve stability.
• Establish with the manufacturer exactly what the established safe working load relates to.
• Where possible use alternative more stable equipment, such as a scissor hoist.
• Scaffold register/inspection requirements
  
  1. For all scaffolding from which a person could fall 5m or more, a scaffold register or similar must be kept on site and be available for inspection.
  2. When complete the inspection records should show:
     1. Project name, address, or other clear identification.
     2. The location of the scaffold with respect to site coordinates or the location at the building or structure, so that the scaffolding can be clearly located.
     3. Miscellaneous details of the scaffold.
     4. A record of each inspection carried out.
  3. The inspections must be carried out at the following intervals:
     1. Before the scaffold is first put to into use.
     2. Weekly while the scaffold is in use.
     3. After each structural alteration or addition.
     4. Monthly while the scaffold is set up but not in use.
     5. After any storm or occurrence that could adversely affect the safety of the scaffold.
  4. The inspection must be carried out by either:
     1. A certificated scaffolder of the appropriate class; or
     2. A competent person such as a chartered engineer.
  5. The entries of each inspection in the scaffold register must be made and signed by the person who carried out the inspection.

1. The inspection must be carried out by either:
2. A certificated scaffolder of the appropriate class; or
3. A competent person such as a chartered engineer.

SAFETY
Safety harnesses must be worn at all times when working on all scaffolds above 5.0m high. They are part of a scaffolder's personal protection equipment. If a safety harness is not being worn, the scaffolder is not adequately prepared to limit the harm that could result from a fall. Preparedness is wearing a harness and being able to secure the lanyard to an anchor point.

2. Scaffolders can adopt a method of progressively installing a guardrail from the level below before installing the work platform (see figure 2). The scaffolder can then enter the platform with the edge protection already in place. It is acceptable to preinstall a single top rail from below and complete the mid rail and other components from the platform.

Minimisation can include but is not limited to, one or a combination of:

• Training and inductions.
• Ensuring only highly experienced scaffolders undertake the lead build position.
• Working from fully planked platforms.
• Safety nets.
• Fall arrest systems.

Two main approaches to minimising fall hazards are taken in the scaffolding industry. Firstly, the optimum erection and dismantling procedure is employed. This is known as "the tunnelling method" and is outlined below. Secondly, safety harnesses must be worn by all scaffolders when working on all scaffolds above 5.0m high so that fall arrest systems can be accessed (see figure 4). Note that safety harnesses with a 1.8m lanyard connected to a scaffold below 5.0m high will not arrest your fall before hitting the ground or supporting structure.

                  Computer room research on scaffold and finish off blog's, from 8:00am to 12:00pm.
After lunch head out to our sleepout tired to finsih off the roof framing, but the rain had to kill the day..

 today i work on front 4x2and purlin. measuring 600mm overhang from the fixing on side wall, for the purlin and 4x2.

Now for the sides purlins and rafters had to cut back 600mm on purlin and 545mm on rafter to have en        room the 4x2 to sit under purlin.

BBQ TABLE (2/05/2011)

MAY 02
                                                 BBQ TABLE
bbq table today using the H3.2 treated timber 90x45

angle cut both side on top runner (L) 820mm.
follow by the bottom runner same angle cut (L) 1360mm

 Finish cut top and bottom runner. Assmeble legs and runner together.

Now drilling the runners and legs for srew and bolts.

using M12x 110 Nut cup head HDG

instaling the bolts to tighten runner and legs together.

adding the top timber for table with 180mm overhang of edge.

cutting out the under bracing with the birds mouth cut. It was pretty hard to do.
