fitting the door frame, cladding


before fixing the cladding we had to fit the door frame in, this involved sitting the frame in, and packing the 10mm gaps we left at each side of the frame, we put the level over it, and made sure it was straight, once it was all straight we nailed it in. The next step was to fix all the cladding to the timber wall frame, once again we already had all the materials. the first step was to string-line the first line of cladding to get it as straight as possible. if you dont get the first sheet right the rest of the job will be out. once we had the line we started nailing up the cladding, we were pre-drilling holes and using clouts. once we worked our way to the top of the window frame, we had to cut smaller peices for in-between the window frames.
