recladding an external wall

For the last week I have mainly been removing the bricks from the outside of the house that I am working on but today I got to re clad the outside of of room.
This involved removing the building paper, measuring for the new Eco-ply cladding, fitting a new trimming stud to allow for the fixing of the two sheets, fitting extra bracing using Handi-brackets, I put in 4 of these.
I then cut the two sheets of ply fitted them and nailed them off to the bracing pattern of 150mm centers, tomorrow I will tape seal the joints and re install flashing's around the window.
