this week we dismantled the scaffolding but before that we installed the scribers for all openings they are finishing elements to make the openings its is every important to get right so there are no gaps and it all fits perfectly pictures are below to explain further.
first the timber is tackd up against the window/door and then it is measured how far it portrudes from the window/door edge this shows us what block to use to mark out the side of the timber where to cut. once that is done we cut out the marking as perfect as we can as well as the top to fit under the flashing and we check how it fits and cut accordingly to get rid of any gaps. once done the bottom is cut at a 45 degree angle 10mm down from the bottom of window/door and is nailed in at every 2nd weatherboard in line with nails.
next week will be the finishing lines
