we can square a building going diagonal one end of the building line to the other, we do this on both sides and if it is square the numbers will be the same
Name all the parts?

2 Power tool safety
Skill Saw,Beltsander, jig saw, drill,Thickness-er, buzzer, nail gun gas powered, air?
Discribe what each tool does?

Skill Saw
is a machine where you can cut a straight line, diagonal or reduce the thickness

Sub floor flooring Research

Tempory sub flooring

temporay sub flooring is a sturdy piece of wood which you can use anywhere in a house it is excellent for heavy load where it can support the weight of vehicles and other heavy objects, it is easy to be assembled into any shape and easily alligned and releasably locked togeather. the good things about sub flooring is sub flooring is its cost effective, easy for storage and some sections of it kan be reused.

A method of assembling a temporary flooring assembly is also disclosed. A plurality of rectangular sections are provided. each of the sections has first and second ends and first and second sides, with a keying means extending from the first end and a locking means formed in the second end. a pair of slots are formed in the respective first and second sides of each section. a cam lock is rotatably secured proximate the first side adjacent the first side slot. the cam lock has an arm pivotally moveable through the first side slot. the first side of one of the sections is aligned with the second side of another of the sections so that the slots are aligned. the cam lock is pivoted so that the arm passes through the first side slot and into the second side slot, thereby securing the first and second sides togetha

 

Bearers

 

Sub floor frame: T-section bearer and inline joists

---

Single span joists are set between and are supported off a T section bearer. This produces a shallower floor than conventional bearer and joist arrangements.

Sub floor frame: Joists on bearer

---

The conventional arrangement in sub floor frames is for joists to run over the top of bearers. Joists and bearers are regularly used as continuous span elements running the full length or width of the building.

Sub floor frame: Inline joists fixed to bearer with joist hangers.

---

Single span joist are set between the bearers and supported with proprietary sheet metal beam hangers. This produces a shallower floor than conventional bearer and joist arrangements.











floor joists

for first block we were in the computer lab we we doing:

• assignment 2 which was to find out what types of timber used in the constuction industry               (New zealand)and how we treat timber.
• we also did a research on work horse/ saw horse

after break we were in the classroom talking about profiles and

Assignment 2

what type of timber is used in the construction industry and what is involved in treating the wood?.

The tiypes on timber used during construction:

• Rimu
• Radiota Pine
• Fijian kauri
• Oak
• Kwila
• Balau
• macrocarpa
• Eucalypt Species

For timber framed buildings most of the timber used must be treated to prevent damages within the wood by insects and moisture. the treatment is accordance with nzs 3640 which will normally be:

• Baron salts (H1.1, H1.2)
• Light organic solvent persavative (H.1, H1.2, H3.1, H3.2)
• Copper chrome asenate (H3.2, H4, H5, H6)
• Amoniacal or alkaline copper quaternary (H3.1, H3.2, H4, H5)
• Copper Azole (H3.1, H3.2, H4)

When using copper - based treated timber for exposed situation:

• site treat cut ends
• do not place cut ends in the ground
• do not burn off - cuts on barbecues or in domestic fireplaces

H1.1 - framing to external wall clad with masonary

H1.2 - enclosed subfloor framing

H3.1 - exterior plywood- painted

H3.2 - exposed subfloor - unpainted

H4 - exposed subfloor framing

H5 - veranda posts in the ground.
