Exterior Paint Properly prepare and repaint all exterior wood surfaces on the structure. These surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned, allowed to dry, and scraped to remove all loose or peeling paint to obtain a sound working surface before new paint is applied. Work includes removing loose caulk and removing and cleaning removable items attached to the structure. Holes, cracks, open joints, and other defects will be caulked smooth.

Unless otherwise specified, prep work does not include re-nailing or replacing broken, loose, or missing wood members.

Owner understands that the texture of the scraped paint may show through to the newly painted surface.

451 South State Street, Room 445, Salt Lake City, UT 84114 Page 7 of 13

The Division may require at no additional expense to the Owner additional coats of paint to eliminate bleed-through of background material, unless the Owner chooses a paint that is incompatible with the existing color. It is up to the Contractor to inform the Division in writing of any conflict that may arise over more than two coats of paint, and the Contractor must wait until the Division settles the matter before painting the house. If more than two coats are needed to cover incompatible paint, the Owner will pay the additional costs on the incompatible paint.

There will be clean painting cuts in all corners, around all trim, and where two colors join. The Owner will verify in writing with the Contractor which windows are not operable before painting and the

Contractor will not be responsible for making those windows operable. All windows that were freely operable before painting will be operable after painting.

The Owner shall be offered a choice of styles and colors.

Stucco

Put up sheathing materials. You may stucco over any rigid material attached to your support studs. Make sure to follow Salt Lake City building codes while installing the sheathing material.

Cover the sub-straight with 2 layers of "Grade D" building paper or an equivalent water-resistant barrier.

You may also use 15 lb. per 100 square foot roofing felt (6.8 kg per 9.3 square meters) or some types of house wrap, but do not use a plastic house wrap not intended for stucco. Overlap the paper by at least 4 inches (10 cm) and fasten with roofing nails.

Start at the bottom and overlap the paper or felt as you work your way up.

While not required by most codes, an air gap between the 2 layers is highly recommended to prevent wall rot. A 3D plastic drainage mat between the 2 barriers is one way to accomplish this.

Install casing bead as a plaster stop at the corners of doors and windows. Install weep screed at the base of the wall for better drainage.

Attach metal lath. The metal lath should nail or staple the lath to the studs (not the sheathing) at no less than 7-inch (18 cm) intervals. Overlap the lath by at least ½ inch (1.25 cm) along the long side and 1 inch

(2.5 cm) at the end, but not much more.

Be sure to use only galvanized roofing nails or staples designed for use with stucco. Otherwise, your nails or staples will rust and pull loose.

In all exterior stucco applications, you must use G-60 hot-dipped galvanized lath.

Lath shall be at least ¼ inch furring or make up for non-furred lath using furring strips or furring nails.

451 South State Street, Room 445, Salt Lake City, UT 84114 Page 10 of 13

Install control joints to reduce cracking. Divide the wall into rectangular panels using control joints.

Controls joins shall be no more than 18 ft apart. Also install control joints wherever 2 dissimilar walls meet. If the lath is expanded metal (rather than stucco mesh), cut it behind each control joint to fully separate this rigid material into panels.

Panels shall be as close to square as possible, and no larger than 144 ft2

Mix the scratch coat from 1 part cement material and 2¼ to 4 parts plaster sand. If you are using Type I

Portland cement instead of plastic cement, you'll need to add your own hydrated lime; count the final cement and lime mixture as the "1 part cement.

Make sure to use cool water when mixing your stucco, especially if your hose has been sitting in the sun.

If the water is hot or warm, it will cause your stucco to dry too quickly.

The aggregate in the cement should be clean and well graded.

Apply the scratch coat with a square trowel at a 45º angle, firmly pushing it into the lath. This layer should be ⅜ inch thick.

The first scratch coat should be thick enough to cover your wire grid.

Score the scratch coat lightly to ensure a good bond with the next coat.

Wet cure the scratch coat. The thick scratch coat must be allowed to cure for 48 hours. Protect the stucco from drying out. Mist or fog the stucco twice daily unless the relative humidity is above 70%.

Protect the wall with a windscreen or sunshade if necessary.

Mix another batch using 1 part cement and 3 to 5 parts sand. Apply another ⅜ inch layer of stucco and screed to an even thickness, for a total thickness so far of ¾ inch. Once the brown coat loses its sheen, float it smooth.

Wet cure for at least 7 days.

Cover with the finish coat with a ⅛ inch layer. Apply and float using 1 part cement to 1½ to 3 parts sands.

Rain Gutters Commercial rain gutters are engineered roof drainage assemblies designed to collect, channel, and discharge stormwater from large commercial roof areas. They must handle higher runoff volumes, larger roof spans, and greater structural loads than residential systems.

Commercial gutters are commonly fabricated from: Aluminum (most common for corrosion resistance)

K-Style Gutters: Common commercial sizes: 6inch — small to medium commercial buildings, 7inch — larger rooflines, 8inch — industrial or high volume drainage needs

Commercial-grade aluminum gutters are typically fabricated in the following thicknesses: 0.040" aluminum (standard commercial): 0.050" aluminum (heavy-duty commercial): 0.063" aluminum

(industrial or high load applications)

Steel Railing Provide and install steel railing (“ironwork”), handrail or guardrail as specified, in the area specified. The handrail (or top of a guardrail that also serves as a handrail) channel iron dimension shall be 1 ½" x ¾”.

Unless otherwise specified, the rails will be powder coated. The 1-year Work Guarantee will cover rust on the railing, unless the rust was caused by damage in use. The Owner shall have a choice of colors.

Hand Rails

The top of a handrail must be parallel to the stairway and mounted at a height between 34 and 38 inches above the front edge of the stair treads. The railing must be continuous for the length of the stairway. In a public building, the handrail must extend at least 12 inches beyond the top and bottom treads.

The railing and mounting hardware must be capable of supporting a weight of 200 pounds applied in any direction at any point. The maximum gap allowed between brackets supporting the handrail is eight feet.

Dimensions

A railing attached to a wall must be at least 1¼ inch and no more than 2 inches thick. The support brackets must hold the railing at a distance of at least 1½ inches from the wall and project a maximum of 3½ inches from the wall. The surface of a railing must be smooth, with no sharp corners.

Replace Electrical Outlet Receptacle Replace the existing outlet receptacle with a new duplex outlet receptacle. The new receptacle shall be

GFCI protected if located where GFCI protection is required by current code. If the existing circuit is not grounded, the new GFCI receptacle may be left ungrounded.
