Finally got my phone working, I might of posted the fascia/soffit pic before but that's all I have on my phone. Still working on the same Bellway homes site.

Good work. All looks very weird to me lol, door standards before plasterboard!

Do you do the roofs too?

[steviejoiner74]

Window cills in too at roughing stage!! Its strange for me to see a roof with no osb or sarking too.

[182michael]

Canny beat sarking a roof on a nice day one of my favourite jobs.

[MSX]

Nope, the houses are timber frame and the timber framers do the whole kit and then the roof, leaving fascia/soffit (dunno why they don't do it themselves!!), 1st fix, 2nd fix, etc, to us (sub-contracted joiners, well I'm an apprentice but still). After the party walls are boarded and the roof is tiled we go in. What stage do your casings go in? assuming they're pre-hung doors because down here (north west UK) those pre-hung door kits, the casings go in 2nd fix with the door. But if it's just casings separate they go in 1st fix. I bet a 1st fix here is a lot different than it is where you Scottish blokes are lol

[182michael]

Yes completely different. We sheet the ceilings first then build the studs (wether it be sticks or pre assembled partitions) then do the walls.

Cills and doors in 2nd fix. Mostly door kits some (Barrett) you have to hinge the doors yourself.

Kits we do the whole thing inc fascia/soffit.

I'm building a kit this week will take pictures can't work out how to post them off my phone though

[steviejoiner74]

I can't post any pictures either Michael,ipad and iphone I've got.

[MSX]

Lol window boards in 2nd fix, most joiners here would moan because they'd have to be spot on and most of the 1st fix joiners I work with are pretty rough when it comes to them. I like to be as neat as possible, this pic is quite old and plates were used on this site instead of just blocks nailed down, then the board pinned

First low level roof with velux windows, done it in about 3 hours with my cousin. looks like I need a new pair of boots also lol

[182michael]

How much for that? We get trusses for low level porches, p*ss easy!

[MSX]

Didn't do it on a price luckily just got paid a day rate With the soffit, fascia and open eaves detail it took about 3 and a half hours. I don't usually get to do the roofing so I'm not as fast as the others that do garage trusses in about half an hour lol

[steviejoiner74]

The bridles(trimmers) should be doubled up top and bottom. You've no truss clips on either but I'm just being picky!.
Do you guys do the flashing kits as well? They are a joy to do for the first time!!
