08/06/2011 steel framing/ roof

today we were visited from some people from howick limited who works with steel frames. they showed us clips of houses, buildings with steel framing applied to it.. then they split us into 3groups and were told to construct a shed using the steel frames, with a cordless drill and some screws to put it together, they gave us pictures with numbers and letters on it so we can find it on the steel frames which wil help us construct is faster... first my group and i made our walls, then made the roof frames, it looked really good and we finished first cause it was easy...

then we went down the site and me and lincon marked out where the purlins will go on the trusses, measure 150mm from the apex, then measured 696mm from there to mark where the purlins will go
