this week we restraightend the walls through the bottom and top plates as well as the sub floor
the reason why we do this is because due to weather etc while we were gone the timber would have moved and maybe cuped so we fix this so that the house is straight as well as the walls so that the gib board fits flat without any problems
we straightin up the sub floor by simply using a clamp (showen below) to grab onto the boundry joist and the 2nd joist from it and it should line up with the BL (building line) showen by a string line and checked with doger blocks. also force by the use of a sledge helps

we then straighten up the bottom and top plates by attaching string lines and use dodger blocks like with the boundry joist except this time we use braces as well as force and the tacking of nails i do not have a photo of these but will next week
