13/04/2011 Ra's Questions

Types Of Treated Timber we have used

H1.1 - Timber treatment against resistance to borer 

H1.2 - Timber treatment against moisture exposure which could lead to conducive decay

H3.1 - Timber treatment used for outdoors use and for strong weather exposure

Different Types Of Roof

Skillion Roof: Is normally a single sloping roof surface, but not attached to another roof surface also known as a shed roof or a flat roof known in Australia.

Hip Roof: Is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid

Cross Gabled Roof: There are many types of gabled roofs. I enjoy the cross gabled roof which is used in homes with extra wings so that each portion of the home has its own triangular gabled roof. Flat Roof: This type of roof is obviously easy to identify. The benefits of a flat roof include that it's easier to construct, safer if you're going to stand on top of it and generally more accessible. The main drawback is that this type of roof requires more maintenance than other roofs in large part because debris will gather on the roof with nowhere to go.



Skillion Roof: This type of roof is a single sloping roof surface. You can think of it as just one half of:of a triangular roof or you can think of it as a flat roof that has been inclined slightly. It is often used on just a portion of the home. One modern architectural option is to use skillion roofing on a multi-level home to create unique shapes and patterns for the home's exterior.

Assignment 4 Saw Horse Project

1. We used a buzzer to plain our seat section of our saw horse and then put it through a level cutter  which made the seat section all leveled and smooth

2. Then cut out sections for legs to slot in and chisel the sections out for the leg slots

3. Got the pieces of timber to make the legs and cut them to make them into legs

4. Got some nails and glue and a compressed air powered drill and drilled some holes for the legs so that the nails had a guide but before nailing the legs to the seat frame we glue the legs then slot them into the slots and then when in the right position we nailed them to the seat frame

5. Started making the cleats for strengthening the seat frame and used more glue and nails to attach the cleats to the seat frame

6.After making the cleats we started making the brace in the center under the seat frame and drilled and nailed them to the cleats and seat frame.

7. Marked out the legs to make them even and flat on ground surface and we cut the legs parallel to the cleats

8. Sanded down to make the saw horse smooth so that there was no rough patches on the saw horse.

Day 11

Today I finished my saw horse and waiting for it to be marked by the tutor also got started on making the wall frame for the sleep out marking out the layout for the wall frame by copying a complete frame that was nearly finished.

Sleepout Layout In Google Sketchup

Day 9

Today we updated our blogs and i have nearly finished my drawing board just got to sand down the edges to make it smooth and router the the edging on my drawing board also we had to research more about the building profile and how to construct a saw horse also we got started on making our saw horse by using a buzzer to make the wood smooth also i looked for my boundary peg yesterday at my house and it was nearby the fence in the backyard

Day 8

Today we started learning about how to build our sleepout and how to create a building profile for the sleepout also the profile helps with the building process of the sleepout. The sleepout is a building thats runs on schedule 1 so that it doesn't need a consent to be built and the profile helps with the layout of the building so that it is in the right position and so that your not building it on an angle or a slope and on a flat piece of land. When building a profile you need a list called a cutting list which is a list you need for all the materials you need to use to make the profile for the building or in this case a sleepout.

The image above is what a profile looks like this is what you use when you layout the building depending on the size of the building you normally would only need four but sometimes you would need a bit more because of the house design on the plans that had been drawn also we learned how to use a dumpy which shows if the section is level or not.

Assignment 2

Timber Uses


Apart from framing other uses for timber are weatherboards, exterior trims, battens, facings and corner boards, interior finishing trims, window and door frames, flooring etc.


Timber Species 


Timber framing species were once native timbers such as rimu. However, the majority of framing currently used is radiata pine, and a small but significant proportion of Douglas fir is used and some macrocarpa.


A number of other species may be used for interior finishing timbers and flooring, such as radiata pine, rimu, Fijian kauri, oak, eucalypt species, while imported timbers such as kwila and balau together with radiata pine and macrocarpa may be used externally.


Timber Drying/Treatment Method


Traditionally, timber framing was used wet and allowed to dry in place after erection and before the internal linings were installed. Where drier timber was required, it was stacked outside in a way that allowed air to circulate around it and remove the moisture.

For timber-framed buildings, significant portions of the timber used must be treated to protect against damage by wood boring insects or from moisture. The level of treatment required varies with the level of risk of moisture damage to the timber and the location of the timber within the building framing.

Day 6

Today we got our tools for our lvl3 carpentry course


Including - 2x Chisels, Hammer, 2x Nail Punches, Crosscut Saw, Apron etc.


We went to the computer rooms to update our blogs and to comment on the class wiki on pbworks also trying to get my joints exercise finish so that i can finish my frame off even though its probably might not even be straight or aligned properly

Assignment 1

Building Regulations:
Building regulations form an important part of New Zealand’s building controls.

Building regulations are made under and in accordance with the Building Act 2004 (the Act). The type of regulations that can be made, including the process that must be followed when creating new regulations are given in Sections 400-415 of the Act.

The Building Regulations 1992, and subsequent amendments, were made under the Building Act 1991 but are now treated as if they were regulations made under the Act. However, the majority of the 1992 Regulations were revoked on 31 March 2005 by the Building (Forms) Regulations 2004.

Building Schedule 1:
Building work that does not require a building consent: Schedule 1 - exempt building work

This document sets out all of the exemptions in Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004 and provides guidance for deciding whether proposed building work qualifies as exempt.

The primary purpose of Schedule 1 is to exempt building work that is minor and low-risk in nature and where the benefits of requiring a building consent do not exceed associated compliance costs. Work exempt under Schedule 1 is generally building work that will not significantly affect public safety or the structural integrity or fire safety components of the building.
 

Building Act:


The Building Act 2004 is the legislation that governs the building industry in New Zealand.


The Act aims to improve control of, and encourage better practices in, building design and construction.


This means:


more clarity on the standards we expect buildings to meet
more guidance on how those standards can be met
more certainty that capable people are undertaking building design, construction and inspection
more scrutiny in the building consent and inspection process
better protection for homeowners through the introduction of mandatory warranties.

Day 7

Today we learn't about the safety aspects of power tools the power tools that we learn't about were the router, electric plainer, jigsaw, nail gun, skill saw.


Safety Aspects:


Router - Don't put your hands in front of cutting piece on the router, always wear PPE gear, take out small chunks when using router so that it doesn't kickback into your body.

Electric Plainer - Don't put your hands down on the flat surface while using the electric plainer, keep hands on top at all times and wear PPE gear when using Electric Plainer

Skill Saw - Guard must retract at all times, wear PPE gear when using Skill Saw

Jigsaw - Keep your fingers away from the blade while using the jigsaw and wear PPE gear while using the Jigsaw

Nail Gun - Don't put your hand in front of the barrell or else your gonna have a nail shot into your hand or fingers and use PPE gear when using Nail Gun

Day 5

Today we went to the computers to do a numeracy test and to update our blogs also we made a drawing board base using a biscuit cutter to make the inserts in the drawing board base. This tool allows you to cut a semi circle type biscuit cut into the piece of wood your using then you use these pieces of wood that are cut like biscuits which you insert into the drawing board base

This is type of tool we used to join the drawing board base together it cuts the inserts were the biscuit pieces get inserted

Day 4

Today we learned about different types of joints and learned how to make them in a joint making exercise. We had to use 100x50 pieces of timber the joints we had to make were half dove tail, dove tail. We learned about how to look at the timber and to know if its straight and to get a clean piece of timber that doesn't have knots because a piece of pinewood timber has knots in it then you can cut the knot off or go around the knot and when you come to use a chisel its hard to chisel on a piece of wood that has knots and the type of timber that used is pinewood timber

Christchurch Earthquake

The types of buildings in christchurch that were affected in the quake were old heritage stone type buildings, high rise buildings e.g. hotels, office buildings, car parks.


Some of the buildings collapsed in falling down sideways, pancake formation one floor on top of the other floor some have been flattened by boulders e.g. rsa building

They could prevent it by applying more bracing to the buildings add giant shock absorbers into the foundation so that when a earthquake hits the shock absorbers take all the shock from the quake, make the buildings have more supports so that if one breaks or gets damaged in a earthquake then they would still have a backup support for the building to stand on 


The area that has had the most damage is the CBD of christchurch and the epicenter lyttleton 

Day 3

Today we learned how to make a frame out of six by one (600x100) pieces of wood and also learned about safety in the workplace and how even in a office there will always be an accident waiting to happen also saw videos about how to prevent injuring yourself when lifting heavy objects

Day 2

Today we got taught how to use a hand saw properly and also got told about the different types of saws e.g. cross cut saw also did the waita at the marae after we finished the marae we went back to class

Orientation

Yesterday was orientation day we were shown around north and south campus and all the main blocks around each campus. We learned a waiata that i will be singing today also we learned about health and safety on a construction site and how there is hazardous areas on a workplace.
Security came and told us about there services and did some activities that helped with learning how to use a hand tool properly also how to estimate length properly
