the walls are up

this week we put up the frames of the house

we do this by first marking around the edges of the house to show where the frames go for the edge
we then work from he back of the house to the front so it is easyer to carry the frames
the frames are numbered in accordance to the house plans and it is important we follow them to get maximum strength from the frames

the frames are conected by galv nails as well as conectors on the top as showen in this picture

we then brace them with cut timber to make sure they stay up

untill we are ready to load the roof on.

things to remember:

• all the parts of the walls must be flush and leveled perfectly this can be made by braces, manual force through a sledge or normal hammer
• when useing nails they must be galvz otherwise bright steel nails will rust and stain the floor
• make sure to be safe with ladders as they can cause major harm if used incorrectly
