Student Flats -Timber Framed Construction




Timber Frame Construction

 

From the 7th-10th May I spent working for Smiths Carpentry Ltd, as an trainee carpenter. Constructing Timber Framed Flats for student accommodation in Clifton Bristol. We started with the DPC and attaching the Sole Plate. Once the Timber frames arrived they went up incredibly quickly. It was a good experience but I don't have the strength to consider this the right job for me.
