• Today was the day we started planing and building. The first thing we did was set the profiles and measured 8 and 9m with our measuring tapes and connected braces to support and prevent the profile from tilting or leaning one side. As we hammered the nails in place we check the squareness and level by using the Spirit Leveler then once the profiles were set we nailed them into the ground to prevent the profiles from moving. Then we used strings to mark out the boundary line of the house and squared it off by using the nylon measuring tape from one corner to the other and check if it was 90 degrees if not we would adjust it till it was an accurate measurement. After we measured and mark the height of the Batter Boards by looking through the Tripod and adjusting the numbers and height of the tripod.

•  Then we placed 4.5 lengthen timbers beneath the strings and nail it in with the hammer.
