today we installed a window into a wall frame and fitted it out the same as you would in a proper house, cladding, flashings, architecture and the sill on the bottom of the window.



then after all the work put into it we had to pull them apart.







yesterday the 2/12/08 we did a book on calculations on quoting a job for skirting and architicture the other book was on courses of bricks and how to install and replace a window and then after lunch we started our windows.







2/12/08







our leacture showed us how to use a raidial arm saw, a buzzer, and a thickneser and showed us the potential danger of them and what you could loose from being stupid around the machine or not using the machine how you were told to.







the book titled fixing out contained:



internal fixings and what sort there are and what they are used for,



how to do miter cuts so that one piece of moulding can fit together with the other piece so you caint see a gap.







the second book titled install & replace windows contained:



differant sorts of buildings built from differant materials such as stone, brick or concrete blocks,



most bricks are made from clay and are shaped to a requtangle shape and are then put in a kiln to be cooked so they go solid.



differant types of brick built walls such as a half bond (the most common)



english bond mostly used for retaining walls



flimish bond almost the same as a english bond



and the header bond all the bricks are layed with their ends facing out.



how to install a window.



when isntalling a window you put packers around the sides and bottom but not the top incase of the lintle sagging.
