• Today we started measuring, cutting and building our wall frames. Cutting the studs at different lengths depending on the height from the floor upwards, cutting the solid blocking at 300mm and cutting the Nogs at the with between the studs. We also cut the sides and the back of the house first so we can work off one side thats straight and work off it. Tips on wen when we nailed in the Nogs to to first set a string line running across the solid blocking and studs to the other side. leaving that straight string line as a guide for us to set the Nogs at. As we nail the Nogs in we nail two nails through the stud to the end of the Nog and making sure the top of it is flushed with th surface of the stud. Then hammer nails through the stud next to the Nog on angle till it nails into the end of the next Nog.
