plastering

firstly I started by putting on my PPE such as

Boots - protect feet from any falling objects

Gloves - to protect skin from any materials
Goggles - to protect eyes from dust or sharp objects
Overalls - to protect clothes or skin

After i had all my PPE on i went down to collect the plaster " multi finish"  i then got 2 buckets to mix the plaster together afterwards we started to mix the plaster "1 bag of plaster to every 1/3 of water in a "monkey bucket". 
we then poured the plaster into a wooden box and started plastering the front of the bay " 2 coats"
i have plasted one coat at the moment  after applying one coat if left overnight apply watered down pva, to allow plaster to bond to wall otherwise plaster will just crack if not applyed




making a door frame

firstly i started by putting on ppe boots gloves goggles to protect myself by any injury on my skin and eyes.
i then collected the materials that i would need making the door frame, i then started marking out the sizes of the frame to the size of the door.

I then started cutting the wood to the correct size and then started fitting it to the bay that was fitted for us.

i then started adding noggings to the side's, after that i started cutting out some fox wedges to hold up the door to the frame, i then pre-drilled them and screwed them in place.

 after making the frame i then went onto the plasterboarding which i will write next.

plaster boarding

the first thing i did before entering the workshop was putting on my ppe
boots - protect feet from any falling objects
gloves - to protect skin from any materials
goggles - to protect eyes from dust or sharp objects

I then started by collecting the materials such as plastboard, stanley knife, pencil, level,square and tape measure after getting all materials i started by marking out the size that was need to place into the bay so that afterwards i could plaster it.

I cut 3 pieces of plasterboard to place into the bay, two pieces was to fitted to the sides and one sitting on the top "there was a 15mm gap around the sides so there be room for the plaster boards/ plaster, so the plaster could rest on the frame.

after doing all this I then when on to plastering which we be the next post
