2ea 200mmx200mmx2.4M 3 bend zinc steel ridge capping $63.85
Step 7 - Roof Flashing
At this point I trimmed the excess of the ends of the roof flush with the roof panels. I then pre-painted the ridge capping and some of the timber and affixed it to the main gable.

Next was to trim the excess Viallaboard from the face of the gables. After this was done I cut and set the larger angle flashing, cut the barge boards (pickets) to length, then nailed them into place. I also cut a section of Villaboard for the portico face.

Next was to trim the portico capping to size and I then screwed it down. At this point I glued a piece of leftover angle against the front wall above the portico to assist as a water drip point as seen in the image below.

I then cut the flashing and barge boards for the portico and screwed and nailed them into place as well.

I had some leftover 20mm angle from a previous job, and I used this to neaten the edging where I trimmed the edge of the sheets down.

Step 8 - Villaboard Preparation
I used the compound to fill in all of the nail holes in the villaboard when I affixed it to the framework. I also used the fibretape in the joints and set an initial flush. After sanding everything back I reflushed and filled for the second time.

I also used the Liquid Nails to affix the corner flashing to the edges of the Villaboard. I used some aluminium tape to hold the strips in place while the glue set.

Step 9 - Door & Window Framing Part 1
I used the DAR pine for this because it does not contain any knots or defects to it's the best to use for framing. Just follow the images below to see the stages as I made the door framework.

So basically, top outer - top inner - bottom inner - one side inner - same side outer (repeat other side) - bottom outer.
I was able to complete one window before the effects of the cyclone up North started to hit me with rain so I had to pack the power tools up. The next image shows the bottom left hand corner of the completed window frame.

I was still able to start the filling of the timber gaps and nail holes while the rain was coming and going so the last half of today of the weekend was spent just patching/flushing and sanding.
