Plasterboard

First i got my P.P.E, this consisted of gloves, goggles a face mask and boots. i then got a tape measure and measured the length and width i needed. then using a spirit level i marked a straight line down the plasterboard. then i put the plasterboard ontop of two hop ups to raise it up from the floor, then using a stanley knife i cut down the line fully peircing the other side, once its cut i screwed it onto the studwalls.

Shelf and coat hook

First i measured the lentgh and height of my wall. found the half way point and marked it onto the wall, i measured the shelf and found the half way point of that and met that up with the line on the wall. using a spirit level i made sure it was level and marked the holes. i took the shelf down and pre drilled the holes. i then held the shelf up and put the screws in.

Similiar aspect for the coat hooks, made sure they were level and screwed into the wall. again with that being centre of the wall ( Width).

Archertrave

First i meausured the required length i needed for the height and width around my door frame. then using a mitre saw, cut a right angle and then nailed it on, leaving a 10mm gap between the door frame and the archertrave.

Plastering

First thing i done was put on my P.P.E, gloves, googles,and steel toe capped boots. After that i got all my equipment out. this was 3 buckets a hawk and a plastering trowel. one bucket was clean water to mix up the plaster the other one was again clean water and the last one was dirty water. I then started to mix up the plaster with pouring the plaster into the clean bucket and mixing it with a mixing stick and finishing it off with a paddle connected to a battery drill. I then poured the plaster out of the bucket onto a table and washed the bucket out ready for the next mix. i then put a certain amount of plaster onto my hawk, and loaded my wall. Routhly 5 minutes later i smoothed it over with the trowel. once the first coat had dried a final coat was applied wich gives a smooth finish.

Bricklaying

I had to lay a 4 length brick pyramid, to ensure that I knew the basics,  I had to mark out a straight line on the floor to lay the bricks on and to make sure i got a straight line then i had to lay the first course of bricks (4) then check all the measurments were correct and i then layed the next 3 bricks and checked them. Then i layed 2 bricks and checked that all the bricks were plum then i layed the final 1 brick and checked all the measurments on all the bricks. When all the bricks were layed i had to use a spirit level to make sure that the bricks were plum and all level. I then used a gauge rod to ensure that the bricks were the exact height for the amount of bricks that i had layed. once them were layed they got checked by John ( teacher). I then had to tidy and put all the bricks and tools away and clean up.

Carrying Paint

I had to carry 2 tubs of paint outside the workshop and back in again being aware of the health and safety and the road, I wore boots to protect my feet in case I dropped the tub of paint on my feet, I also wore goggles in case any paint splashed into my eyes as I put the tubs down, I also wore gloves to protect my hands from and sharp bits of plastic that were on the tub and also to give me more grip to carry the paint.

Carrying Small Bags Of Ballast

I had to learn how to carry small bags of ballast from outside the workshop through the corridor and into the workshop safely, the P.P.E I wore was Boots, Gloves And Goggles, the boots in case I dropped the bag onto my feet, the goggles in case dust came out of the bag, And gloves in case of sharp stones were sticking out of the bag.
