I learnt last week how hard it is to shoot a nail out of a nail gun when on a uneven surface. It is quite hard because you need to keep the nail gun straight well your trying to keep yourself straight and stable. and for interesting information we almost had a close call with a nail and a finger. Shot the nail and must of hit a knot or something and came out the top of the wood. lucky we got some info from sir to hold your hands away from were the nail is entering.

This week i have learnt how to use sketch up to help get a rough idea on how to build stuff . And i have learnt how to use mybcito it is quite interesting how it can read all the information to you. And I have learnt how not to give up when cutting a big round piece of wood and I have learnt that if you rotate the wood when cutting it can make it easy and faster to cut the wood.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

That means to me no excuses when its raining, get out there and work as hard as the rain coming down.

Don’t be afraid be brave.

It mean don’t be afraid to give something new a go and speak within your chest when you feel right to.

kia ora, My name is Rangamarama. I am a yr 11 at Bay of Islands College, I am currently attending building  Academy, which is a alternate pathway through school that can help me and the boyz after, stepping closer to the tradie world I joined building academy because i enjoy being outside and using my hands and  getting them dirty. I also joined bac because i wanted to build me a house down est coast by the beach.

What surprised me about making the chicken coop was making the door frame and making the door itself. Making the door and the door frame surprised me because I haven’t made a door before and making the right cuts in the wood for the door. I was happy when it all fitted and the end result looked good. The chickens are secure in the coop and they look happy.
