We have a wall, and its
mill long
, the angle is
degrees, so

|
We have a wall. Its
mill high
and
mill long
so
|
|
This wall is
mill high
and
mill long
so
|
|
Ok, its
mills long and the
angle is
degrees so

We need to go up a rake and mark cleats at centers that are plumb above
the ones below, that are level, but because we're on the rake, the centers need
to be further apart to be plumb. The points below are at
mill centers on the level and
the angle is
degrees. so
so
as they're plumb above the ones below
Print me out the running measurements
up the rake starting at
mill(level)
 Print Running centres Sheet

We need to go up a rake and mark a
point thats directly plumb above a
point below. We cant plumb up because theres stuff in the way. The point
below is
mill level in from the end, and the
angle is
degrees. so
to the point directly plumb above the one below

We need to cut this block at an angle
. The blocks
millimeters wide or long
and the angle is
degrees so
in mills from one side to the other to make this angle
|
|
We need to lay these blocks up on an angle,
and the ends have to be cut plumb
. The angle is
degrees and the blocks are
high, so
that I need to cut the bottom shorter than the top, so as when I lay the end block
on the angle, the cut end is plumb

|
We have a gable with bond
beams on top, and the angle is
degrees. The blocks are
mill high, the joints
are 10 mill and theres
bond beam courses. So
down from the topdo we need to go to start
the stretcher cuts, so as when we lay the bond beams on top, they end up at the
right height
|
We know the pitch, so how do we work out the angle. Pitch is Rise in Length. If
its 5m long and rises 1m, its a pitch of 1 in 5
We got a pitch (rise) of
in length of
so 1 in 1 = 45 deg

Print me out a Sill heights sheet
so we can mark out the number of stretchers, Knockouts , Half-heights
and sills under windows
in standard 200 Series blockwork . Print Sill Height Sheet |
|
Knock me up a Quick Count sheet
so we get a quick count on total blocks in this building. Print QuickCount Sheet |
