week 23 unitec carpentry 14 - 16 september 2011

week 23. we continue installation of weatherboards. we are slowing down because it is frustrating having to replace some weatherboards due to inaccurate spacing. weatherboards rarely escape damage when the rosehead nails are removed, even with a multitool. cutting off stainless nails proves to be difficult. what a tedious task, checking, removing and re-fixing.
underside of last course of weatherboards have to be flush with the boundary joists

fixing weatherboards requires lots of patience as the material has to be properly cut and then accurately fixed to maintain a professional finish; note gaps in corners will be covered by corner soakers
