flooring

At course today we started off by marking out the 1st sheet for the flooring. we set up string lines along the joists at 1250mm and then we blocks to keep the line straight off the peaces of partical board. after we got the 1st peace nailed down using 65mm angle grove floorig nails we stung the next peace up next to it and carryed on right down to the other end. once we got to the far end of the house we turned around and went back the other way so that we could stagger the joints. the peaces were joined in tounge and groove pattern. each peace had to be glued along the joists with gorilla grip express glue.
