8/12/08

today i hung a plain single house hold door on a frame for the first time i learnt how to mark out were the hinges go and how to cut them out with a chisle and hung it properlly on the frame then installed a handle into the door by drilling a hole into the side of the door with a 24mm spade drill bit for the handle tounge the used a hole saw which was 25mm for the handle to go through the door.

we then whent out side to were some of the others were working on modle houses doing cladding and we looked at how they were put together and what was needed to proform this task we then pulled it all apart for the next group.

After lunch break we were in the class room doing a task book on how to work out calculations for the perimeter for a house and how to work out how much cover board was needed for the out side of a house and then take away all the spaces for the doors and windows unfortunatlly i found it a bit hard to work some of the caculations but slowlly got through it
