Lintel Replacement In Brick Veneer

10/31/2013

 
B-Shell
Lintel Replacement in Brick Veneer is often necessary after 40 or 50 years if the original installation was flawed. In this case plain steel lintels without flashing or weep holes had swollen to more than twice their original thickness, which heaved the veneer and caused large, long cracks to appear. 
The solution is simply a new lintel installed in proper fashion. Most masons can manage the support of the veneer above when the span is 3' to 6' as was the case here. The detail provide instruction for the sequence in which the repair should be made.
The key features of the detail are the:
  • the lintel, scheduled elsewhere, is hot-dipped galvanized steel
  • flashing was impractical because of the veneer anchors
  • the elevations showed the amount of tuck pointing required to repair the cracks after the veneer settled into its original position.
  • windows are often replaced because of the difficulty of working around them

Counter - Raised Counter For Seated Clerk

10/27/2013

 
C-INTERIORS
The Raised Counter Detail provides a counter integrated with a raised floor so that the clerk can be seated while the patron is standing . Without a platform, the patron looms over the clerk. Eye contact between clerk and patron is normal. An alternative solution is a tall counter at which the clerk sits on a stool. It is preferable for the patron to remain standing to keep the transaction from taking longer than needed.
See 'Comments' for ADA considerations.

Finish Key - Remodeling

10/26/2013

 
Picture
A Finish Schedule is the traditional way to show what the finishes are for each interior space of a project. For new construction that approach works very well. For remodeling or renovation the table format of the Finish Schedule doesn't lend itself to the many variations that you encounter. The Finish Key is much more flexible by allowing detailed descriptions of the intended work. In a schedule these descriptions become footnotes, easy-to-miss footnotes.

There are several ways to use a key. Below is my favorite. The symbol is placed in each space directly or indicated by leader arrow. Each wall is tagged with its finish. The center space is used for flooring and base (ceilings can be added). The descriptions can reference the Specs or they can be the Specs.
