Checking Windows 12/11/2012

 
Had to check over the windows to make sure they were plumband the gaps on the sides were even. Using a spirit level, we soon found one that was out by a bit at the top and had a bow in it. The screws that were tacked in had to come out, where 2 spirit levels were laid on the sides, new holes were drilled and re screwed. The top had packers pushed in to take the out. One by one all windows were straightend and corrected. The main window/door frame was lifted into place today, but soon found we had to make an alteration. A strip of the floor board had to be stripped back, then the floor joist, boundary joist and weather board, had to be shaved back 50mm. The boundary joist was cut with a skill saw, the floor joist had several cuts put in to depth then chiseled back and made flat. The frame was then put into place to check if anymore needed taking out, all was right.
