Little Jobs To Be Had 13/11/2012

We put foam in between the windows frames and wall frames. This stops any drafts coming through and when the expanding foam is emitted, it wont make a mess and go everywhere. Cutting to length, then butting the foam string in with the end of the ruler going 50mm in making sure no foam had brakes in it. All windows were done then re-checked. It also gave us another chance to make sure the windows were plumb and flush. The glaziers came in again and finished off the rest of the windows. With the big window/door frame that is going in, all the cuts had to be re-sealed with paint again. The frame was then held into place and screw tacked in. The back door/laundry door had to have dwangs put directly under the door itself, giving it more strenght and to stop warping and weak points. Spare joists were cut to size then nailed to the outside boundary joist. Some of the etapan went up today. The location was measured then 1omm either side was taken off. The etapan was then cut to size and holes were drilled for where the nails were to go. Top flashing were also measured and cut for all the windows, ready to be nailed on.
