2016_01_04 Happy New Year!!


2016_01_04   Visitors gone and the weather is cool, and each day I build a little more :)


Well lets see if the saw still works!  Aha Makita works every time ;)


Son came for a visit over Christmas, and showed me how to line the wall.



The wall had a power point which will need to be moved to the new plaster wall. So extra upright was required.


So now its my turn. Dale had cut up another wall section, so I started to put that one together.



So the next two sections were cut up and nailed together to get the firsr sheets of plaster on. They were delivered in 6m  lengths, so they will have to wait till Al can come give me a hand, or perhaps the Grand kids come home from Bemm River.



And so with three frames knocked together, all I need to do is work out where the layout supports need to go, so I know where the cross pieces need to go to strengthen up the frame
One cross piece will need to be at 1350 to support the plaster sheet joins. Need to work out if that will also support the upper deck which will mount on top of 70 x 35 horisontal supports fixed in two places to anchor them at a perfect level.
Then the sheets of insulation will be fitted with cut outs to get around these obstructions. The same will go for the plaster as well.

Well I have a sharp pencil, now I need to work out exactly where the supports should go. The BG track is level at 1410mm but the SG falls for about 60 feet at 1.5% This complicates the support brackets.
Cheers
