Timber framing begins

I managed to salvage a heap of framing timber from the demolition of a couple of rooms at my school. This occurred courtesy of Kevin Rudd, who provided schools with new classrooms as part of the economic stimulus package. When they demolished my school classrooms I salvaged the sub floor structure. I didn't like the idea of good timber being scrapped and I knew I'd use it somehow. A community worker denailed it for me and it was sent home and wrapped in plastic until used. This is the timber I have used as framing. It's heavy and will provide a strong structure to fix my cladding to. I began to assemble this with help from Lach. Didn't want to fall from the ladder and we worked together lifting and bolting. Not hard, but any time you are up a ladder with heavy beams you need to take care, especially if you are teachers and not builders. We made good progress.
