8.45am I arrive to school exspecting to be in the computer room, but to find our class out allready working on our sleep out.

We start the day of working on cutting and fixing our Out-rigs. We had allready cut out six Out-rigs from the day befor, so it was just a matter of nailing them down and cutting out the last one. But we had a major problem with four of our Out-rigs. All four for the other side were cut to short at 545m, where they were supose to be cut at 590m. This was a major set-back because we had allready nailed three of the four Out-rigs down.

To fix the problem, we had to cut out the beamers sitting on top of our rafters. to do this we needed to cut the beamer from the middle point of the first rafter that was nailed onto. We could not take out our Out-rigs with-out doing this! So after cutting through our bottom three beamers, we then hammered it down.

With a whole days work gone wrong, we decided that we fix the problem and try and catch up to our other class mates working on the other sleep out. Given that we just had a new tutor name Kevin, we were on our own, as he was just getting used to things.

With the day coming to an end, we quickly fixed up our Out-rigs witch we had to take down, and naild one side down and with no time do the other side we were left to nail them in the next day.
