introduces students to basic Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) techniques and

provides a foundation for higher level and more diverse forms of CAD which

will be necessary for gaining entry-level employment in drafting environments.

Students will learn how to manipulate elements of the computer software

(AutoCAD) to produce simple two- dimensional drawings.

CARP1113 Carpentry for Building Maintenance 1

120 6

In the context of this course of study,

external carpentry can be defined as

fixtures that are made of wood that are

found on the outside of a building. These

would normally require maintenance by a

carpenter and would include wooden

gates, sheds, wooden fences, roofs,

window sills, stairs, wooden patios, etc.

As with internal carpentry, however,

external carpentry does not include

furniture which, although often made of

wood, is not part of Cabinet Making

because furniture generally is not fixed to

the structure.

In this study component we will look at

External Carpentry, as it relates to roof

construction and its maintenance – roofs,

roof coverings and guttering and other

roof fittings, such as, Barge boards, Soffits

S.J.P.I

SJPICDILO 061117 Updating in progress Page 284

and Face boards. These tasks can be

carried out by individuals who possess

basic carpentry skills with the aid of hand

and power tools. To maintain the

structures mentioned, the

craftsman needs to be knowledgeable of

wood and construction methods, and be

able to work with rafters, and other

carpentry details which relate to roof

construction and maintenance.

In this context, therefore, maintenance

refers to the repair and upkeep of the

external wooden structures of a building

to ensure that they serve their original

function. It may also include the

replacement of some or all of these

elements.
