Trim Paint + Stain - Seed Eco-Home 5

• Issue: cold weather means that we cannot paint the exterior trim 5 months in the winter (Nov-Mar) unless we have a heated indoor painting space. Stain can still occur in cold weather. Jarrah Brown is 50F, but it worked end of Feb in Maysville, MO (40°N).
• Plan for trim is here, so we paint trim once.
• Pre-staining is not a good idea - because we can do the bulk of staining in place as most of it is the trellis
• Bright Paint:
• Trellis, 1x12 and 1x6
• Windows + front door - all 1x6
• House Corners - 1x8.
• Garage Door Trim - 1x6 fronts
• Terrace front top - 1xx8
• Stain in Place:
• Trellis - 2x6x14’ + plywood
• Trellis - 2x4x8’ -
• Stain prior to build
• Garage Door Trim - 1x10?
• Terrace -

Corners - 1x8 trim

Stain all after building trellis prior to adding white trim.

Procedure:

• Need
1. [80’] space
2. [20] sawhorses
3. [5] 2x6x16 lumber
• Place sawhorses, 16’ apart
• Use 16’ lumber between sawhorses
• Place all materials on sawhorses, with 1” separation
• Use 2’ walking space between aisles of 4’ width
• Paint with roller and extension handle
• Does not address edges - paint edges with brush
• Cover for night?

Actual: 7 horses long, 14 bunches = 21 sawhorses

​

24” walking space - ¾ of the boards are accessible, must step over ‘horse barricade on other side

Minimal Staking Notes. CAD link.

1. Do robust staking at super-corners. This allows us to recover any destroyed stake.
2. ‘Triangulation’ refers to finding the ‘hypotenuse.’ This is . ‘Leg triangulation’ refers to intersecting the legs. Small X marks leg triangulation:
3. We can inset 1” to make sure stakes are safe.
4. We must place stakes in the corner, allowing wood forms to ride up to the corners, but stopping before they hit the stake. This is doable by using metal stakes.
5. Use round foundation stakes, with string through hole.
6. For actual forms, ride string ½” above forms as a marker for form height. Do this as a separate stage.
7. Insight: separate digging staking/lines from foundation staking/lines. This allows for less stakes so that backhoe can maneuver more easily.

Staking Notes

• Measure from 1, 2, or 3 whenever possible - these are the most accurate points (measured and first derivative)
• 1-2 is measured
• 2-3 is triangulated from 1+2
• 4 is triangulated from 1+2. Does not rely on first derivative locations
• Non-prime locations are 4” stakes sticking out 4” from level ground
• Prime locations are 5” off the ground, riding a

Obtain large square:

• Install Stake 1
• Install Stake 2
• Triangulate Stake 3
• Triangulate 4 from 1+2 (non-derived points). Do not triangulate from 3, which can compound errors. Requirement is ½” discrepancy from 861.5”

Notes

• Measure from 1, 2, or 3 whenever possible - these are the most accurate points
• Triangulation needs happen only once to derive (3). Shoot for <½” accuracy
• 4 is ‘pseudo-triangulation’ in the sense that you don’t obtain the diagonal, but derive (4) from the adjacent and opposite legs (google images of Hypotenuse) which are at right angles to each others. 2 lengths are still used to find the point of intersection.
• No need to verify the original triangulation from (2) to (4) because the diagonal would be a second derivative quantity, which only propagates errors. Only first-derivative lengths should be used for triangulation for higher accuracy, and these should be trusted.
• (1, 2, 3) are the holy triumvirate and (3) is the first derivative. (4) is a second derivative.
